Paul
Sana was born in Jambes on March 24, 1931 and
died in Malmedy on February 25, 2000. During World
War II, he studied the solfeggio, the piano and the
clarinet at the Academy of Music in Namur, while
working on harmony and conterpoint with private
teachers. He studied the saxophone, the violin and
later the double-bass by self teaching, but very
thoroughly. From the age of 20 he always conducted
brass and wind bands, symphonic orchestras and
chamber music ensembles, frequently accompanying
internationally renowned soloists. Paul Sana became
a composer at a very early stage and we owe him
more than sixty original works for solo instruments
with piano, for various wind ensembles and for a
large number of original works and of
transcriptions for brass and wind bands. Paul Sana
was a director of the Festival of Chamber Music in
Stavelot.
