Equally comfortable playing musical genres ranging from jazz to classical to literally everything in between, the versatility of this saxophone ensemble is unmatched.
Their leader, Jarrod Goldsmith, studied with the late esteemed Professor Gerald Danovitch and played in numerous McGill ensembles. Jarrod continued his studies and music while earning a Masters degree in archaeology.
