Jason Lau

TingKwan (Jason) Lau is an emerging Toronto based saxophonist specializing in Classical and Contemporary music. An active performer and educator, Jason is fluent in the repertoire of the saxophone and is as comfortable a soloist as he is a chamber musician. An active competitor, Jason won the 2018 University of Toronto Faculty of Music Winds Competition and will be competing in the 7 th Andorra Internation Saxophone Competition in April 2020. A strong interest in exploring the virtuosic capabilities of the saxophone drives Jason to explore music beyond that of his instrument. Jason is in his Final year of the Master of Instruments Specialize in Saxophone at the Lemmensinstituut under the guidance of Prof. Mariano Garcia and Nadine Bal. A David and Marcia Beach Summer Study Award, along with a Faculty of Music Undergraduate Associaton individual grants gave Jason the opportunity to participate in the Université Européenne de Saxophone in Gap, France in the summer of 2017-19. There, he received advanced instruction from virtuosos Claude Delangle, Arno Bornkamp, Vincent David and among others.
