Saxofonist

The Abele Saxophone Quartet was formed in 2023 by four friends (music professors at Duke University, UNC Chapel Hill, and UNC Greensboro) for a performance in the Chapel at Duke University. The quartet is named after the architect of Duke's beautiful campus, Julian Abele. Abele Quartet performs an eclectic mix of music from transcriptions of older music to original new music and jazz standards arranged for saxophone quartet. Abele is Susan Fancher, soprano saxophone; Rahsaan Barber, alto saxophone; Heidi Radtke, tenor saxophone; and Mark Engebretson, baritone saxophone.
