Brent Birckhead Quartet (Jazz Saxophone)

Weis Center Atrium

Saxophonist Brent Birckhead is an award-winning artist, whose aesthetic is an intersectional amalgam of traditional and popular styles. Birckhead’s approach to woodwind artistry is driven by his compulsion for creative risk and deep respect for legacy. His place in a storied lineage begins with his surname, Birckhead, and extends to his extensive musical education and work ethic. Educated at Howard University, Birckhead was named best blues/pop/rock soloist and outstanding instrumental jazz soloist by Downbeat magazine as part of the annual Student Music Awards. In 2011 he was named Best Alto Saxophonist by the Washington City Paper. The New York Times calls Birckhead “one of the most riveting young improvisers in New York.”
