Dr. Steven Stusek is an associate professor of music at the University of North Carolina
Greesnsboro, where he is a member of the Eastwind Quatuor d’Anches and the Red
Clay Saxophone Quartet.

Originally from Oshkosh, WI, he received his Bachelor’s degree in saxophone performance
from Indiana University. Before beginning a Master’s degree in saxophone and chamber music
at Arizona State University, he spent a year in Paris studying at the Paris Conservatory
(Conservatoire Nationale Superior de Musique de Paris) and the Conservatoire de le Région de
Paris, where he was awarded the Prix d'Or à l'Unanimité in Saxophone Performance. After
living in the Netherlands for almost eight years he returned to Indiana University and was
awarded a DMA in Saxophone in 2001.

He has been on the faculties of Ball State University in Muncie, IN, Middlebury College, the
Cincinnati Conservatory of Music, and he was an Associate Instructor of saxophone at both
Arizona State and Indiana University. He has been on the UNCG faculty since 1999.

As a soloist, Steven has appeared with the Eastern Music Festival and more recently with
the University of South Carolina Wind Ensemble as part of the North American Saxophone
Alliance biennial conference. He has been the principle saxophonist for the Eastern Music
Festival and the Greensboro Symphony for the past ten years. In 1998, Stusek won the
prestigious Dutch Chamber Music Competition as part of the saxophone-accordion duo
2Track with accordion virtuoso Otine van Erp. Subsequently they were given management
for two years, performing widely throughout the Netherlands and on Dutch radio.

Steven performs regularly with pianists Inara Zandmane and Konstantza Chernov. Together
they have given performances throughout the United States and Canada. Steven and Inara
teamed up with saxophonist Susan Fancher to produce the critically acclaimed recording
Louder than Words – music for two saxophones and piano. One reviewer wrote:

"Descriptors however cannot give any indication of the incredible performance given to this
work by Fancher, Stusek, and Zandmane. That you'll have to take my word for - it's fantastic.
Freund's music lives and breathes in this stunning performance." The Saxophone Symposium

Steven’s teachers have included Eugene Rousseau, Joseph Wytko, David Baker, Larry Teal,
Daniel Deffayet, Jean-Yves Formeau, and Leroy Wolter.
