Effiny Saxophone Duo pairs Mark Engebretson and Susan Fancher, who together create innovative, energetic new music for saxophones. They often include electronic elements to create a cutting-edge sound.
Engebretson’s works often explore popular music styles, connections between poetry, and music with the dynamism of 21st century technology and great technical skill.
Fancher teaches saxophone and coaches chamber music at Duke University and Wake Forest University. She is known for her expressive tone and poetic musical interpretations.
