Signature Series

The classical saxophone duo Jake Swanson & Sarah Marchitelli has been seen on concert series and heard on the radio throughout the United States and in Europe. The two began performing together during their formal studies at the State University of New York at Fredonia where they performed in mixed chamber ensembles and saxophone quartets. In 2011 they began the more serious duo collaboration, Jake &
Sarah, with a recital in New York City. In addition to their duet programs the duo has
collaborated with pianists, poets, composers, and orchestras. Jake & Sarah have
presented at the United State Navy International Saxophone Symposium and the North
American Saxophone Alliance Biennial Conference.

Jake & Sarah’s repertoire includes established works for saxophone duo, transcriptions,
and new pieces written specifically for them. Since their establishment, Jake & Sarah have
collaborated with composers Kate Parker, Michael McGough, Tim Bausch, Michael Lanci,
Scott Miller, Nathan Hall, David Marc Alterman, Dan Knorr and Frank Zabel to create new
works for two saxophones - some with electronic medium.
