QUITE PLEASED to Present
STEVE DUKE
Rooted in jazz and classical traditions, Steve Duke has established himself as a leading artist in contemporary music and multi-genre performance. He is the only American to have commissioned and premiered two works that received awards at the prestigious Institut international de musique électroacoustique de Bourges.
Steve’s numerous solo recordings include albums Monk by 2 (Sony/Columbia) and Saint Ambrose (Capstone). Other solo recordings can be heard on CDCM, Centaur, Equilibrium, EMF, GMEB/UNESCO/CIME, and EAM.
Steve Duke innovated multi-genre pedagogy on the saxophone. His article “An Integrated Approach to Playing Saxophone” was the first to explain the technical differences between classical and jazz styles. He developed the first curriculum in music to teach the Feldenkrais®Method as away to reduce performance stress.
Steve Duke performs and teaches saxophone and the Feldenkrais Method in the Chicago area. He is a Distinguished Research Professor Emeritus from Northern Illinois University and is a Yamaha performing artist.
Steve now calls Santa Fe his home!
