Biography

In 2010, a small group of saxophonists from the Royal Conservatory of Mons (Belgium) met Thomas Pechot in Grégory Letombe’s class at the Regional Conservatory of Saint Quentin (France) and decided to join him to create the 7à8 saxophone ensemble.
The idea is simple: seven saxophonists on stage and a man in the shadows, arranging, composing, orchestrating and writing all the scores.
The initial purpose of 7à8 is to popularise the saxophone as a genuine instrument of classical music by playing widely-known works of the symphonic repertoire, arranged by Thomas Pechot.

More informations

In September 2014, the 7à8 ensemble had the huge privilege to work on a musical project with the renowned Belgian saxophonist Fabrizio Cassol. This collaboration was initiated by the Wallonie-Hainaut Festival. It was a real challenge for the 7à8 saxophone ensemble to adapt to such a different repertoire from what they had been used to. However, F. C was able to create a successful alchemy thanks to his generosity and his endlessly sharing both his kowledge and passion. The result was up to the work they had achieved: a happy encounter and a very much appreciated concert by a numerous audience present at the Louvière Palace on September 24th 2014. Eager to live this experience again, the 7à8 ensemble and F. C are looking forward to presenting this mosaic of colours at the Strasbourg SaxOpen in July 2015.
