The final selection of the recital was one of his own compositions, Et Ha’Masah, performed by the FSU Graduate Saxophone Quartet.  In addition to the recital, he held a master class for FSU College of Music saxophone students and presented a lecture entitled, “Keep Your Eye on the Prize—Collecting skills on the way to your goal.” The SaxoFest concluded with a performance by the Jason Kaplan jazz quartet.
