PULSE was awarded 1st Prize in the Performing Artist Division of the 2023 NOLA Chamber Festival Competition, won Second Prize at the 2022 Barbara Wagner Chamber Music Competition, and advanced as finalists in the 2022 Coltman Chamber Music Competition and 2022 North American Saxophone Alliance (NASA) Quartet Competition.

The ensemble has played for many esteemed musicians such as Branford Marsalis, members of Eighth Blackbird, Stacy Garrop, Christopher Creviston, h2 Quartet, and Taimur Sullivan. All members of the quartet value the kind of brotherhood and camaraderie that blossoms while playing chamber music.
