Fountain Hills – The Fountain Hills Saxophone Quartet (FHSQ) is thrilled to announce Jeffrey Anthony has joined the quartet as its soprano saxophone player.
Jeffrey, who has filled in as a substitute on several occasions, brings an impressive musical resumé to the group. He earned a BA in music education at Indiana University, where he studied with the legendary Eugene Rousseau. He then went on to receive a masters in saxophone performance under Joseph Wytko at Arizona State University, and a master of sacred music degree from Luther Seminary.
“When the soprano chair opened, we were unanimous in our agreement that Jeffrey Anthony was the right person to fill the position,” said Dale Nelson, FHSQ’s manager and co-founder. “He is not only a very talented saxophone player, he blends perfectly with the group’s personality – a critical requirement for us. We were thrilled that he has accepted the position.”
Jeffrey commented, “Playing in a saxophone quartet is a great joy for me, and I fell in love with the FHSQ the first time I played with them! I am so grateful to be a permanent member.”
