The Northern Rivers Conservatorium, in association with Musica Viva Australia, is pleased to present a special event in its Concert Room, Nick Russoniello: One Man Band.

Russoniello presents a virtuosic tour de force of melodies, counterpoint and grooves. Armed with a loop station and multiple saxophones, Russoniello journeys through music from Baroque to Beatbox and beyond. Audiences will be taken behind the scenes of the creative process as the music is constructed layer by layer before their eyes (and ears!). Russoniello reimagines the music of Telemann, Elena Kats-Chernin, Katy Abbot and Creedence Clearwater.

“This was smooth and contemplative music from a highly accomplished and awarded musician, beautiful” – Pepe Newton, Classikon
“The cascading virtuosic runs were executed with an almost excruciating tenderness.” – Jessica Tu, Limelight Magazine
“Russoniello was cool and mellow, the sax sounding like rich, gold chocolate… a dazzling virtuoso display by the composer and performer himself.” – Lynne Lancaster, Sydney Arts Guide

Nick Russoniello is a highly accomplished performer and composer with an exciting career in Australia and abroad. Nick has been the recipient of a number of major awards including the ABC Symphony Australia Young Performer of the Year Award and the Fine Music Kruger Scholarship. Nick has appeared as a soloist with the Adelaide, Queensland, Canberra, Melbourne and Sydney Symphony Orchestras and as a guest artist with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Australian World Orchestra and the Australian Opera and Ballet Orchestra. He is a sought-after chamber musician and his ensembles Continuum Sax, Duo Histoire and The Golden Age Project perform regularly across the country for organisations including Musica Viva, ABC Classic FM, Sydney Festival, City Recital Hall and Phoenix Central Park.

Nick’s original compositions have been gaining attention at an international level with performances at events including the World Saxophone Congress (Zagreb), and the European Saxophone Festival (Porto). In 2019 Nick undertook a European tour, presenting his compositions at the Royal College of Music (London) and the Conservatorio Di Musica G. Verdi (Milan) and the Conservatoire De Strasbourg (France). Nick’s Suite for Saxophone and Loop Station was recently featured on the Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra’s Voyages of Musical Discovery Program.

Nick is currently a doctoral candidate at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music where he tutors Composition for the Creative Industries. He is a Yamaha Australia Artist, D’addario Woodwind artist and an associate artist of The Australian Music Centre.
