The Saxophonists
Robert “Bob” Fudge, associate professor and philosophy program director
Jennifer Turley, professor and chair of the Department of Athletic Training & Nutrition
Craig Bergeson BA ’91, Spanish professor and chair of the Department of Foreign Languages
When asked for the name of their trio, Jennifer laughs and says, “Well, officially, it’s the WSU Faculty Saxophone Trio, but we should really be called the WSU Non-Music Faculty Trio because none of us teach in the music department.”
The trio formed a little over a year ago after Bob discovered that Jennifer and Craig were saxophonists. “I remember calling and asking if they wanted to get together and practice,” he says. The answer was an enthusiastic yes. The trio made its professional debut in November 2015, playing The Star-Spangled Banner before a Weber State women’s basketball game.
Despite their busy faculty schedules, they carve out time for music. “It’s a wonderful outlet. We love it, so we make time for it,” Jennifer says. Craig adds, “It’s like exercise in a way. It’s hard to find time to do it, but you know it’s good for you, so you just do.”
