BIO

A former sponsored amateur skateboarder and punk bassist, SAXIMUS discovered the saxophone at the age of 12. Since graduating from the Eastman School of Music in 2001, he has established himself as a vital member of the modern music community. Equally comfortable performing the music of Glazunov, Stockhausen, or Avant-Pop, his nearly 400 performances have taken him throughout the United States and to important concert venues in Sweden, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Japan, Taiwan, Canada, Ireland, and Australia. As a solo saxophonist and founding member of the internationally acclaimed SWARMIUS trio, critics have characterized his performances as “first-rate,” “virtuosic,” and “displaying amazing technique.”
