Welcome to Saxpak.

Saxpak started by chance during a London Sinfonietta concert at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in 1986. The programme had called for seven saxophones and between rehearsals those players took the opportunity to run through some arrangements by Ted White. Conductor Simon Rattle (now Sir Simon Rattle) heard them and immediately decided to include their work in the concert. The unusual septet arrangements were so well received by the capacity audience the players were encouraged to continue performing together – and thus, Saxpak came into being.

Since then Saxpak has given many concerts at venues like the Barbican, the Royal National Theatre, the Royal Festival Hall plus many outdoor locations and with the continuing help of Ted White have developed a sizeable repertoire of pieces, from classical to jazz to popular works. They are currently completing their fourth album which, along with original scores to many of their arrangements, will be available from this website.

Thanks for visiting. Enjoy.
