Adventus Saxophone Quartet has a wide variety of musical styles in their repertoire ranging from jazz and pop to classical.

The Lux Quintet is a young, dynamic ensemble based in Cardiff.

Chris Evan Hass (b. 1993) is a self-described ‘composer, arranger, conductor, and friend’ hailing from Ann Arbor, MI.  Praised as “beautifully expressive” (the WholeNote) and “thrillingly off-kilter” (Double Reed Journal), Chris’ music aims to delight and inspire, often taking direct influence from his favorite artists and genres.

Marked by rhythmic complexity and luscious harmonies, Chris’ music has been performed worldwide by some of today’s finest musicians. This includes members of the New York Philharmonic, U.S. Naval Academy Band, Sinta Quartet, Dallas Winds, Nashville Symphony Orchestra, U.S. Army Band, Eastman Saxophone Project, and U.S. Air Force Band. His compositions have been performed at prestigious conferences including the Midwest Band and Orchestra Clinic, Texas Music Educator’s Association Conference, and the Indonesia Orchestra and Ensemble Festival. As a prominent voice in the saxophone and brass community, Chris’ chamber works are frequently featured at the Fischoff Chamber Music Competition and have become staples at instrumental showcases like the International Trombone Festival, World Saxophone Congress, and the International Trumpet Guild. 

As an educator, Chris has traveled internationally to rehearse and conduct ensembles ranging from 6th grade beginning bands to collegiate and professional ensembles. Chris teaches private composition and low brass lessons, music theory courses, and has given presentations on composition, networking, and freelancing at universities across the United States.

Chris holds degrees in Composition from Central Michigan University (M.M.) and Western Michigan University (B.M.) where he studied with David Gillingham, Evan Ware, and Christopher Biggs. Chris currently resides in Jackson, MI with his wife, son, and three dogs (Pesto, Basil, and Olive).

Anthony M Virgilio Music is an experience in story telling through the musical language. Always in different voices, always varying tales, but always written to convey a story. Message me on here or on my site to inquire about commissioned work. I enjoy working with artists and other composers. I would also love your feedback on the work I post on here. Most of the recordings on here are midi renderings and could use live recordings in order to truly bring them to life. If there is a piece you fancy to perform send me a message and maybe we could work something out.
