Students at Meade Elementary School in Williamsport, Ky., get an up-close and personal introduction to the sax thanks to the Tower Saxophone Quartet. From left, Jeffrey Mackechine, alto sax; Terrence Bacon, soprano; Michael Zsoldos, tenor; and Richard Wyman, baritone, received a nine-month grant to share their classical chamber music with 20 schools in rural Kentucky, an area better known for country and bluegrass music. The musicians’ residency in Floyd, Johnson, and Magoffin counties is being partially paid for by the National Endowment for the Arts.
