| Organ and Saxophone...a magical combination! The classical duo Powers and Hall was founded in 2001 at Indiana University's Jacobs School of Music in Bloomington. We're interested in music composed for organ and saxophone as well as transcriptions and arrangements. We have also begun to extend commissions to interested composers. Bill Powers, a graduate of Indiana University's School of Music and a student of distinguished professor Eugene Rousseau, has achieved respect for elegant tone and virtuoso technique. Powers and Hall are available for recital programs, workshops, worship services or other events. We have also worked with sax plus piano, harpsichord, even digital keyboard. We welcome your inquiries. Note: due to aggressive spam (from an opera company in the Bronx: shame on you!) the "sax" email address is down till further notice. Email us at jonathan "at" jonathanbhall "dot" com and we will get right back in touch with you.
