Baritone Sax, Composer, Educator
At Pakhûs – St. Vitus church, I will premiere a unique program based around the baritone saxophone as a microtonal instrument that brings together contemporary music of European composers and Ottoman compositions from the Turkish music repertoire. More info here
I’m thrilled and honoured to share with you that I won the BUMA Music in Motion Awards – Best original composition for the music I wrote for the short film GOYA.
The 35 members of the jury wrote:
“The short film GOYA is a memory-gathering story. In a dreamlike video in cinematic style, a wondrous journey of an anonymous character unfolds, parallel to which the attempt to find the origin of the journey itself is revealed. The image and music in this short film reinforce each other very much. You could say that music is half of this film.
The score excels in originality, is progressive and surprising. Giuseppe Doronzo knows how to produce a powerful and original production with less traditional instruments and arrangements.
Special mention for the wonderful use of woodwinds.”
Thank you all for your support!
What to say, I feel humbled and honoured to have been nominated for the BUMA Music in Motion Awards / Best original composition for the short film GOYA!
Thank you everyone who have been involved in the production of GOYA and of course last but not least my comrade and director Roman Ermolaev with whom I shared this journey

Dear readers,
In these months of corona isolation and reflection, among other things I have been busy developing and rediscovering the concept of CommUnity and Collective. The result led to the creation of a new Multidisciplinary Artistic Research Collective MARC . We selected six inspiring artists and we worked for 8 weeks on the theme of “Heritage in the era of the digital cloud”. We officially opened the door for the first exhibition in our space in Amsterdam. Everyone is welcome to come and visit the exhibition! Please reserve your ticket on this link.
I hope to see you soon!
I’m very happy to read that our latest album with AVA Trio “Digging the sand” has been chosen in the best releases of 2020 by Karl Ackermann (All About Jazz )!

“Whether you call this jazz, Balkan or Middle Eastern music – it’s really all of the above – it’s one of the most delightful albums of recent months.” (New York Music Daily, NYC)
“L’ultimo album del trio, dal titolo Digging the sand, è molto di più di un normale turkish o mediterranean jazz, perché ha un’ottica che mira allo sfruttamento delle risorse tecniche degli strumenti, al limite dell’equilibrio della musica improvvisata.” (Percorsi Musicali, IT)
“It is a special record with unique music, with which AVA Trio has firmly established itself in contemporary modern music. Excellent!” (JazzFlits, NL)
