The six-voice choir (six different saxophones) will showcase students and professors playing bass, baritone, tenor, alto, soprano, and sopranino saxophones. In addition, the choir will be accompanied by rhythm section instruments on the last selection of the program with Lee faculty member Shawn Perkinson. 

Music by Astor Piazolla, Scott Joplin, Bennie Moten, and Camille Saint-Saëns, will be performed, among others.

He performs regularly in the Chattanooga and surrounding areas and has presented numerous recitals at universities across the Southeast.
