Alex Han (The Kennedy Center)

Alex Han

Twenty-year-old saxophonist and composer Alex Han is steadily gaining attention as one of the "Young Jazz Lions" of his generation. With performances at internationally recognized Jazz venues, musical awards, and a refreshingly original sound, he continues to expand his reputation as a talented and versatile musician/composer. Han began his musical journey at the tender age of 8, when his parents encouraged him to study the alto saxophone. Soon thereafter, his innate musical ability began to emerge and by age twelve, he was one of two national recipients of the VSA arts Young Soloists Award. Around the same time, he was invited by Grammy Award-winning saxophonist Paquito D'Rivera to "sit in" with him at a Jazz at Lincoln Center performance for two nights.
