Since 2011 the Decho Ensemble, saxophonists Sarah Marchitelli and Jacob Swanson, has been performing on concert series, television, and radio throughout the United States and in Europe. Collaborating with composers, presenting standard repertoire, and adapting old works for two saxophones the Decho Ensemble continues to push boarders and broaden the saxophone’s voice in classical chamber music. As chamber musicians, the duo has collaborated with poets, dance companies, chamber orchestras, and other instrumentalists to present unique and varied programs. 

As educators, Swanson and Marchitelli share their passion for music, the saxophone, and collaboration with their students. Marchitelli serves on faculty at the State University of New York at Fredonia and is the Director of Instruction at Infinity Visual and Performing Arts in Jamestown, New York. Swanson teaches instrumental music for the Gowanda Central School District in Gowanda, New York, the New Horizons Band of Western New York, and Jamestown Community College. Both Marchitelli and Swanson maintain private studios at Infinity Visual and Performing Arts where they founded and co-direct the Infinity Saxophone Ensemble.

Since their establishment, the Decho Ensemble has collaborated with composers Charles Terranova, Peter Edwards, Dan Knorr, Scott Miller, Nathan Hall, David Marc Alterman, Frank Zabel, Michael McGough, Kate Parker, and Tim Bausch to create new works for two saxophones - some with electronic media. In addition to performing on series the Decho Ensemble  has presented at The United States Navy International Saxophone Symposium in Winchester, Virginia and Fairfax, Virginia as well as the North American Saxophone Alliance Biennial Conference in Champagne-Urbana, Illinois. 

The Decho Ensemble performs on Buescher saxophones built in the 1930s in the United States.
