SUMMARY:Saxophone Quartets:  PULSE Quartet and Quartet Fiume
DESCRIPTION:
 PULSE is an internationally award-winning undergraduate 
 saxophone quartet at Michigan State 
 University studying under Professor Joseph Lulloff. 
 Its mission is to deliver a diverse range 
 of repertoire that will engage and inspire 
 any audience while breaking down the proverbial 
 barrier between the audience and the performer. 
 This past summer, PULSE was artists 
 in residence for the 2023 Manitou Music Festival 
 in Glen Arbor, Mich. Previously, the quartet 
 was artists in residence for the Interlochen 
 Public Radio and the Sound Garden Project. 
 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. 
 In addition, PULSE has been internationally 
 recognized, receiving2ème Prix à l'unanimité 
 in the Chamber Music Division of the 
 2022 International Music 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.\n
 \n
 Quartet Fiume is a newly 
 formed saxophone quartet consisting of graduate 
 students from Michigan State University: 
 Nathan Salazar, Parker Fritz, Owen Kilpatrick, 
 and Michael Keeler, studying with Professor 
 Joseph Lulloff. Quartet Fiume's members have

 competitions, such as the NASA Collegiate 
 Solo and Saxophone Quartet Competitions, 
 the Music Teachers National Association (MTNA) 
 Young Artist and Chamber Winds Competition, 
 Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition, 
 and the Coltman Chamber Music Competition. The 
 ensemble is committed to expanding the capabilities 
 of the saxophone quartet through diverse 
 programming ranging from transcriptions, 
 saxophone quartet standards, and new saxophone 
 quartet music written within the past decade.\n
