The Arkansas Saxophone Quartet was formed in the fall of 2007 and consists of four outstanding saxophonists with extensive performing experience. The members are Andy Wen on soprano saxophone, Caroline Taylor on alto saxophone, Brent Bristow on tenor saxophone, and Jackie Lamar on baritone saxophone. They are the saxophone professors at the University of Arkansas Little Rock, Ouachita Baptist University, Arkansas State University-Beebe, and the University of Central Arkansas, respectively. The ensemble is equally adept at all styles of chamber music ranging from transcriptions to avant-garde contemporary music.
Performances of the Arkansas Saxophone Quartet include those at the North American Saxophone Alliance Conferences in Columbia, SC, Columbia, MO, and Huntsville; TX Navy Band International Saxophone Symposium in Fairfax, VA; International Conference on Arts and Humanities in Honolulu, HI; the National Center for Toxicological Research; and many performances throughout Arkansas. |
