The first Saxophone was made around the 1840s and the Alto Saxophone was probably a version of it made a little later. Bizet may have been the very first composer to use it, like for example in his music for L'Arlesienne. Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, has saxophone solo as well, but the orchestration was in fact made by a much later composer, Ravel, when the Saxophone was a little more common (Ravel used it in his own compositions). There are a few Saxophone Concertos, notably the ones made by Glazunov, Ibert, and some similar things by Debussy, that are more in a Classical or 20th Century sense than what saxophone became more popular for in Jazz. Milhaud's Scaramouche is also a famous little suite for the instrument. Over the whole 20th Century into the 21st, there have been many more composers using this fascinating instrument, but the names before were some of the very first.
What else can I help you with?
How many saxophones are there in a modern orchestra and why?
There are no saxophone parts in the modern orchestra. Though composers do add saxophone parts to specific pieces, saxophones are not generally included in orchestral music. This is because the saxophone is a very young instrument in a relative sense- it was invented in the 1840's, and composers were only taking the instrument seriously by the late 1800's. This is also coupled by the cancellation of saxophone instruction at the Paris Conservatory for several decades, which severely limited the availability of high quality teaching and instrumental developent.
Does a saxophone play classical and jazz music?
Saxophone is best known as a jazz instrument, but it originated in military and concert bands, which are closer to classical music, and it is used in some orchestral music. Some famous orchestral pieces calling for saxophone are Ravel's Bolero and his orchestration of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition. Some classical composers have written solo concertos for saxophone with orchestra, including Glazunov and Ibert.

The saxophone isn't used as much in classical music as other woodwind instruments. How come?
The saxophone wasn't invented until the 1840s, which was after composers such as Mozart and Beethoven had already died. The instrumentation commonly used in orchestral music was pretty settled by then, so later composers continued writing for the instruments that were already there.
