The Palmetto Saxophone Quartet is a dynamic ensemble dedicated to exploring new repertoire and delivering unique and profound performances of classic and forgotten scores. As teaching-artists, they are also passionate about nurturing the next generation of saxophonists and chamber musicians through clinics and masterclasses. Formed in the summer of 2019, the ensemble consists of American saxophone virtuoso Clifford Leaman (University of South Carolina, Rosewind Duo), and former students who are now formidable and world-renowned artists in their own right: Andrew J. Allen (Georgia College, Rogue Two), Sheldon Johnson (Radford University) and Matthew Castner (USC Aiken). They are proud artist-endorsers of Key Leaves products.
