VI eiSAXional 2025: The saxophone comes to San Andrés y Sauces
From 18 to 22 June 2025, the municipality of San Andrés y Sauces will host the VI EISAXIONAL International Saxophone Meeting, an event firmly established in La Palma since its first edition in 2020.
Organised by the Asociación Cultural Encuentro de Saxofón La Palma and led by Anne-Theilke Grabow and José Fco. Climent, the meeting is supported by the Town Councils of El Paso and Los Llanos de Aridane, with the eagerly awaited collaboration of the Town Council of San Andrés y Sauces and the Cabildo de La Palma.
Special guests: Misato Hanawa with Javier Lanis
This year we will be honoured by the presence of the renowned Japanese saxophonist Misato Hanawa, who will give an extraordinary concert on Friday 20 June at 20:00 at the Casa del Quinto, accompanied on piano by the acclaimed Javier Lanis. During the evening she will premiere her new album: “So Fair This Spot”.
In addition, Hanawa will teach an intensive saxophone course with individual lessons, group rehearsals and a closing concert in which she will perform as soloist alongside the Banda Municipal de Música Los Nacientes de San Andrés y Sauces on Saturday 21 June at 20:00 at the Casa de la Cultura Manuel Guardia Roldán.
Music with a purpose
As something new, the programme adds an educational and social dimension: on 19 June, Hanawa will visit IES Cándido Marante Expósito to give a talk to the students and encourage cultural exchange.
