The University of Montevallo Saxophone Ensemble

The UM Saxophone Ensemble is an ensemble comprised majors and non-majors that want to learn the saxophone repertoire in an ensemble experience. The Saxophone Ensemble performs as a large group and as separate quartets. One quartet is for saxophone majors and the other quartet is for other woodwind majors wishing to have doubling experience. The ensemble performs one formal concert each semester and travels to many of the area public schools for various performances. Additionally, the UM Sax Ensemble performs for special events such as the Christmas Feast, Woodwind Workshop and the College of Fine Arts Scholarship Gala. This ensemble is required by all saxophone majors and is open to non-majors and other woodwind majors with permission of the instructor. The class meets once weekly on Tuesday’s from 12:00-12:50 for the doubling quartet, and 1:00-1:50 for the majors quartet. The full ensemble rehearses when asked by the instructor on Tuesday during the 1:00 hour.
