Patrick Bartley Jr., saxophone
Tadej Tomšič, conductor

A new star of the pantheon of world-class saxophonists will shine brightly upon the amphitheatre of the Kromberk Castle on July 1.

Patrick Bartley, Jr. is a Grammy-nominated and award-winning saxophonist, multi-instrumentalist, and composer/arranger, and is known most notably for his extreme versatility, powerful sound, and unabashed soulfulness in every context.

Originally from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Patrick is now gaining recognition as an emerging artist in New York City, and has most notably been featured on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert as a member of Jon Batiste and Stay Human. Patrick has recorded and performed alongside such renowned musicians as Dave Matthews, Steve Miller, The Chainsmokers, Jon Batiste, and Wynton Marsalis, and has performed at world-renowned venues such as The STAPLES Center, Madison Square Garden, and the legendary Apollo Theater. Transcriptions of his virtuoso solo performances already serve as study materials for young sax players, and he is building up audience interest on social media.

This will be his first gig in Slovenia, where he will perform with Big Band RTV Slovenia, conducted by Tadej Tomšič. The concert will be recorded by RTV Slovenia.
