Saxophonist Noa Mick brings a fresh and distinctive sound to the world of contemporary music, creating performances that connect music with other art forms through interdisciplinary collaborations. Working with leading composers and as a soloist in ensembles she founded – Duo Alto (flute and saxophone), Ensemble du Bout du Monde (saxophone quartet), and the Collective LMC X-1 – Noa seeks to offer audiences a new listening experience through existing works and original creations.
With Duo Alto, she recently created an immersive performance in collaboration with composer Omer Barash and visual artist Rony Ginosar, who interprets the music and translates it in real time into live images, offering audiences a unique sensory experience. As part of the Collective LMC X-1, founded in 2023 with composer Giovanni Montiani, she is currently developing the immersive work Ta beauté exigée par le monde futur, a new piece for baritone saxophone and electronics. The performance combines multi-channel speakers, individual bone-conduction headphones, and interactive LEDs that react in real time to the music. Set design is by Thomas Köppel, creating an immersive space where music, light, and visuals interact to deliver both collective and individual experiences.
Noa regularly performs with the NoLimit Orchestra (France), specialized in immersive film and video game music performances, as well as with Klanglab (Switzerland), which will perform this year in Poland, Finland, and Switzerland. She has also expanded her role as an artistic director by initiating projects that merge cinema and interactive music, offering audiences innovative and immersive experiences.
She has performed in numerous festivals and venues across Europe and Israel, including the Onassis Cultural Centre (Greece), IRCAM (Paris), Selmer Paris, and festivals in Estonia, Germany, Spain, Italy, France, and Israel. She collaborates with renowned ensembles such as Ensemble Ulysse (France), Ensemble Meitar (Israel), Ensemble Phoenix (Switzerland), Ensemble neuverBand (Switzerland), and the Basel Chamber Orchestra (Switzerland). In parallel, she develops recording and creative projects, including collaborations with the Israeli Composers’ League, and is preparing a tour and masterclasses in Israel with Ensemble du Bout du Monde.
A passionate educator, Noa has taught saxophone and chamber music for over ten years in Israel, France, and Switzerland. Since October 2023, she has held a full-time position teaching saxophone and chamber music at the Conservatoire de Sarreguemines (France).
Noa studied in Paris (PSPBB and Sorbonne) and completed two Masters at the Hochschule für Musik Basel – one in contemporary music performance and another in music pedagogy – studying with Gan Lev, Jean-Michel Goury, Pierre-Stéphane Meugé, and Marcus Weiss. She has received scholarships and awards from the America-Israel Cultural Foundation, the Eric Siday Scholarship from the Jerusalem Institute of Contemporary Music, the Fondation Caisse de Bourses, and the Hochschule für Musik Basel.
