Benjamin Porter
Saxophone, Piano
Saxophonist Benjamin Porter is an active soloist, chamber musician, teacher, and composer looking to push boundaries of what is typical in classical music. Having been a finalist and placed second in the Music Teacher’s National Association Regional Chamber Music Competition with both the Crash Quartet and Equilibrium Trio, he is putting himself on the map as a serious force in classical music. In 2015, he collaborated with Evan Ziporyn and Terry Riley as part of the Boston Phantom Saxophone Consort on a world premiere of the multi-saxophone version of Mr. Riley’s Poppy Nogood and the Phantom Band on the MIT Sounding Series. He has maintained a large saxophone studio throughout Western Massachusetts since 2012. His students have made all-state bands at both the middle and high school levels, with some moving on to attend college in both the U.S. and Canada. Ben relocated to Denver, CO in 2018 and is eager to continue growing his studio and work with young saxophonists and pianists.
Benjamin Porter received his Bachelor’s Degree in Saxophone Performance from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where he studied with Jonathan Hulting- Cohen and Lynn Klock. He also spent two summers at the American Saxophone Academy at the Eastman School of Music, where he received instruction from Otis Murphy, Timothy McAllister, Carrie Koffman, Chien-Kwan Lin, Griffin Campbell, and Kenneth Tse.
