Biography

Cory Barnfield is currently living in Louisville, KY.  He is a Selmer Paris endorsed artist and plays exclusively on Selmer Paris Series III Saxophones.  His playing has been described as:

            Having a warm and expressive sound that speaks melodies easily with complete control of the full range of his instrument. There is a unique intimacy to his playing that is a delight to the listener.  His fingers are precise, and rapidly allowing the music to flow unimpeded to the listener’s imagination no matter how difficult or easy.  His articulation on saxophone is superb”!

            -Paul Wagner, Saxophone Journal.

 

Mr. Barnfield performs frequently with the Kentucky Opera and the Louisville Orchestra.  He recently performed with Teddy Abrams conducting Walton’s Facade and was saxophone soloist on Milhaud’s Creation of the World.
