Biography
DRAX is the newest faculty ensemble-in-residence at the University of Missouri (USA). Active independently as soloists and collaborative musicians in various ensembles, they are strong advocates for the creation and performance of new music. This recently formed saxophone/percussion duo is equally committed to exploring repertoire for this medium as well as commissioning composers for new creations for this exciting combination. The duo gave their debut performance at the 2015 North American Saxophone Alliance Region 4 Conference at the University of Oklahoma.
