The Amsterdam-based baritone saxophone virtuso Giuseppe Doronzo said: “I feel humbled and honoured to have been nominated for the BUMA Music in Motion Awards/Best original composition for the music I wrote for the short film Goya.”

Giuseppe Doronzo was born in Barletta, a very old town on the Adriatic coast of Puglia, Italy. As a pedagogue and lover of unexplored space , border crossing sounds, Mr Doronzo focuses his research [and playing] of the baritone saxophone, “…aiming,” as he says, “to explore a vocabulary that goes through his background in contemporary classical music , jazz improvisation and his interest for non-western music.”
