Timothy McCallister's first solo Saxophone CD recording

Timothy McCallister has emerged as one of the foremost concert saxophonists of his generation. His professional debut took place at age sixteen and, since then, his career has taken him throughout the U.S., Canada and Europe, having recently made solo appearances in New York’s Carnegie Hall, Weill Recital Hall, and Merkin Hall; Rotterdam’s Zaal de Unie and Wilhelm Pijper Hall; and Holland’s Festival Ensemblage and Festival ‘La boite e punaises’. Among his numerous awards include First Prize in the 1993 North American Saxophone Alliance Young Artist Competition, as well as prizes and recognition from several other competitions in the U.S. and abroad, including the GAUDEAMUS International Interpreter’s Competition. He holds degrees from the University of Michigan where he studied saxophone with Donald Sinta and conducting with H. Robert Reynolds, and is the only saxophonist to ever receive the School of Music’s most distinguished award, the Albert A. Stanley Medal.

McAllister has made several critically acclaimed, internationally released recordings on the Einstein, Equilibrium and Centaur labels, as well as having recorded for Dutch National Radio, G.I.A. Publications and AUR. An active proponent of new music, he has premiered/commissioned over thirty works for saxophone by award-winning, recognized composers including Gunther Schuller and John Harbison.
