• Deux Mouvements for alto saxophone and piano • Sonatina for alto saxophone and piano • Sonatina in G major for violin and piano, Op. 100 (arr. for soprano saxophone) • Fantaisie Brillante on themes from Bizet’s “Carmen” (arr. for alto saxophone by Iwan Roth and Raymond Meylan)

The Classicpair chamber ensemble - Agata Hańko and Jakub Jarosz. Their cooperation began in 2012 during their studies at the Royal Conservatory in Brussels. They have had an opportunity to perform on a number of occasions in Europe and the United States. The concerts in Texas (Corpus Christi, Houston) and Illinois (Chicago) opened them the way for the debut in the famous Carnegie Hall in New York.

Inspired by their own experiences and cooperation with many artists, they are open to a variety of styles and musical genres. Their repertoire includes both classical music, written originally for saxophone and piano, many transcriptions and contemporary sounds. Spark is their first disc, plenty of marvellous saxophone and piano sounds, virtuosity, but above all - authentic colourful emotions.
