Sunday Concerts

Sunday 18 March 2018

Freya Chambers bass clarinet and tenor saxophone 

Simeon Evans baritone and bass saxophone.

The Basilisk duo is a recently formed ensemble from the RNCM in Manchester. They play a wide variety of contemporary music using mainly low wind instruments and electronics, characterised most by their love of music with an infectious rhythmic drive and their generally low frequency tomfoolery.

Simeon specialises mainly in baritone and bass saxophone music. He has recently been part of a number of notable projects, including multiple appearances with the RNCM big band, international concerts with the Carnelian Saxophone Quartet (which both he and Freya form the lower half of) and a nationally televised concert series over New Year with the Netherlands Wind Ensemble in Amsterdam.

Freya specialises in bass clarinet and tenor saxophone, playing both in the duo. She has achieved a number of successes on both saxophone and clarinet, including performing with the RNCM symphony orchestra at Bridgewater hall, multiple appearances with the Piccadilly Symphony Orchestra and being selected to perform with the BBC Youth Ensemble at the last night of the proms in the Summer of 2016.
