The Saxophone Orchestra is the largest of the saxophone ensembles, involving all of the students of the UGA Saxophone Studio. The instrumentation for the orchestra is soprano, alto, tenor, baritone and bass saxophones. This ensemble performs the best of both original and transcribed literature for the large ensemble. The numerous quartets perform concerts both on and off campus. The quartets perform the best of both original and transcribed literature for the saxophone quartet.
