Acclaimed for his lustrous tone and formidable technique, Javier Oviedo has traveled across The United States and to three continents, bringing the significant but underplayed classical saxophone repertoire to new and appreciative audiences.

His engagements with orchestras such as the New Jersey Symphony, The Louisiana Philharmonic, and Orchestre Pasdeloup were great crowd-pleasers and have garnered invitations to perform around the world.  He has a special affinity for France and its history with the saxophone, and his musicological detective work has unearthed some forgotten gems of music for solo saxophone and orchestra. His impassioned performances of this repertoire have led to his highly successful orchestral debut in Paris.

As both a soloist and a chamber musician, Mr. Oviedo has performed in many of New York’s most prestigious locations such as the Dag Hammerskjöld Auditorium at The United Nations, Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center, and Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall.

“ [Oviedo has a] sweet, controlled sound and the predominantly lyrical interpretive approach that is the hallmark of French saxophone-playing.”

-FANFARE MAGAZINE

“The music is rich, lush, and colorful, and one is tempted to praise repeatedly Oviedo’s gorgeous sound, which fits these pieces perfectly.”

-AMERICAN RECORD GUIDE

“Javier Oviedo is a very impressive soloist. But even more  impressive is his ability to be part of the ensemble when necessary, while gently letting the saxophone once again become the soloist.”
