Thomas Trachsel led the orchestra for over ten years but stepped down from the conductor\u2019s podium in 2025. Since then, he has composed a large-scale symphony in four movements for the SSO, which\u2014together with piano and percussion\u2014covers the entire range of the orchestra, from the heavenly soprano to the deep, resonant subcontrabass. A unique aspect of his Sixth Symphony is the solemn, slow movement in the form of an Agnus Dei, with which the composer departs from the otherwise traditional symphonic movements (Prelude, Scherzo, and Finale).<\/p>\n<p>The half-hour symphony will not be rehearsed and premiered by Trachsel himself, but rather by the American guest conductor Paul Cohen, who has also conducted the SSO on several occasions in the past. The saxophone professor at the Manhattan School of Music will also present works from his own repertoire and place a second emphasis on 20th-century American composers such as Robert Russell Bennett, Percy Grainger, and William Schuman.<\/p>\n<p>Swiss Saxophone Orchestra<br \/>\nPaul Cohen, Director<br \/>\nHarry White, Concertmaster<\/p>\n<p>Friday, November 20, 8:00 p.m., Oberstrass Church, Zurich<br \/>\nSaturday, November 21, 8:00 p.m., Blatten School Auditorium, M\u00e4nnedorf<br \/>\nSunday, November 22, 5:00 p.m., Lenzburg City Church<\/p>\n<p>Admission free - collection<\/p>\n<div class=\"usp-images-wrap\"><span class=\"usp-image-wrap\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.musikzeitung.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-21_6ad876b14a85c_swiss-saxophone-orchestra_print.png\" class=\"lightbox\" rel=\"lightbox\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"usp-attach-id-76616\" class=\"usp-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musikzeitung.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-21_6ad876b14a85c_swiss-saxophone-orchestra_print.png\" width=\"757\" height=\"386\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":76616,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","pgc_sgb_lightbox_settings":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1571],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-76615","kalender","type-kalender","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-klassik-konzertagenda"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Konzert mit Urauff\u00fchrung von Thomas Trachsel - Schweizer Musikzeitung<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.musikzeitung.ch\/en\/kalender\/konzert-mit-urauffuehrung-von-thomas-trachsel\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Konzert mit Urauff\u00fchrung von Thomas Trachsel - Schweizer Musikzeitung\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Swiss Saxophone Orchestra mit sinfonischer Urauff\u00fchrung Unter dem Gastdirigat des Amerikaners Paul Cohen bringt das Swiss Saxophone Orchestra in der aktuellen Konzertreihe die 6.
