Performer Details

Performer Bio Synopsis

The Moanin’ Frogs are a musical experience unlike any other. Performing “as if controlled by one central brain” (Dave Koz), the six singing saxophonists comprising this amphibious musical group draw on their multifaceted careers to bring peak virtuosity to deft arrangements of classical, ragtime, jazz, pop, and more. First prize winners of the 2018 M-Prize Chamber Arts Competition, their distinct blend of art and entertainment endears them to professional and lay audiences alike. Individually, they are prodigious performers whose resumes include the Cleveland Orchestra, Detroit Symphony, Toronto and Montreal Symphony Orchestras, and U.S. Army Band “Pershing’s Own,” among others. They also work in contemporary repertoire, commissioning well over 200 works between them. Collectively, their “dynamic” performances at series from the Kennedy Center, Ventura Music Festival, Kelowna Community Concerts, Detroit Public Television, to concerto soloists with the United States Air Force Band of the West have been described by presenters as “the best concert [our audiences] ever attended” ( New Mexico Tech Performing Arts Series). Their debut recording is available from Teal Creek Music. Six college professors, The Frogs also present free and low-cost educational clinics across the country with the support of industry partners, the Conn-Selmer Division of Education, D’Addario Woodwinds, and Key Leaves. Their unique arrangements sell widely, creating opportunities for the next generation to play high quality music that entertains.
