Barkada Quartet will be performing a Guest Artist Recital in conjunction with Slippery Rock University Department of Music. The members of the Barkada Quartet are Christopher Elchico, soprano saxophone; Shane Rathburn, alto saxophone; Perry Roth, tenor saxophone; and Justin Polyblank, baritone saxophone, and comprise the first saxophone quartet to capture the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition’s coveted Grand Prize.

The program also includes original works by Eugene Bozza, David Maslanka, David Salleras Quintana, and Mischa Zupko.
