The German-Canadian saxophonist Claudia Tesorino  demonstrates how very versatile she is musically, whether she is appearing as a soloist, playing in an orchestra or saxophone quartet, performing with choir, or playing in duo with organ or drums. She performs in renowned concert halls worldwide in a variety of roles, as saxophonist, improviser and bandleader, impressing audiences with her sensitive yet powerful sound. She moves among genres from classical compositions to jazz, crossover, improvisation and experimental. Her multifaceted musical talents can be heard on a variety of CDs, including the last recording of “Before & After” with her own compositions for Jazz Quartet.

Her musical focus, however, lies in performing as a saxophone and organ duo, with which she has already released three CDs. In duo with organ, she has been seen in the Berlin Cathedral, the Catedral de Barcelona, the Church of St. Andrew & St. Paul in Montréal and the Essen Philharmonie, to name a few.

With her musical travels taking her over the years to India, Vietnam, Canada, USA and numerous European countries, Claudia Tesorino has a lively interest in other countries and cultures. In 2000, she emigrated to Canada, where she lived in Montréal for ten years, performing and teaching at Marianopolis College. She also has been living in Italy, France and the USA and now divides her time between Berlin and Thessaloniki.

She has received grants from the Goethe-Institut, Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec, Berlin Senate, GVL and Deutscher Musikrat.
