Consisting of internationally acclaimed virtuoso classical saxophonists Susan Fancher and Mark Engebretson, the Effiny Saxophone Duo’s focus is on innovative, energetic new music for saxophones, often with the addition of electronic elements.

Engebretson is also an internationally-recognized composer whose works often pursue explorations of popular music styles, virtuosity, the connections between poetry and music, and the dynamism of 21st-century technology. In addition to a live performance, the duo will give two presentations and host a woodwind masterclass.

Explore the connections between words, coping, memory, and loss through works using text in various media and languages, curated by Erika Diamond.
