Saxfest has been hosted almost every year since 1999 by the UNCG saxophone studio. Each year Saxfest invites and features a different world class saxophonist or saxophone group to give masterclasses, perform for, and work with the Saxfest participants. This year our guests will be The Moanin' Frogs. Previous artists include Curt Altarac, Susan Fancher, Laurent Estoppey, Connie Frigo, STACKS, Red Clay Quartet, Jan-Berry Baker, New Century Saxophone Quartet, Oasis Quartet, and the Zzyzx Saxophone Quartet. A major feature of Saxfest is the Saxophone Festival Orchestra, a large saxophone ensemble in which all participants play with our guest artists in a truly unforgettable finale to the day. We always have food, tee-shirts, and numerous exhibits by the major saxophone manufacturers, including Conn-Selmer, Yamaha, Rampone, d'Addario, Vandoren, etc. It's a chance to immerse yourself in a day truly devoted to the saxophone. Saxfest is designed so that saxophonists of any age or experience level will be able to enjoy and learn. Come join us for our next Saxfest!
