The saxophone was invented by Adolph Sax in the mid-1800s and since then the soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxophones have played sizable roles in 20th century chamber music, wind ensembles, and jazz bands. It's the instrument of choice for dozens of excellent contemporary composers, many of whom have selected The Red Clay Saxophone Quartet to premiere their works.
Internationally acclaimed four-time Grammy award winning tenor, and High Point native Anthony Dean Griffey has been heard in the great opera houses of the world as well as in recital at Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center, Hollywood Bowl and Avery Fisher Hall. He's also continually giving back, from working with handicapped children and raising funds for homeless shelters in the Triad to supporting local arts organizations.
