Biography

Chad Smith first developed his interest in 1920’s saxophone virtuoso Rudy Wiedoeft while studying with Ted Hegvik at West Chester University in 1992. Since moving to New York in 2001, Chad’s talent with multiple woodwind instruments has made him a sought after Broadway, film recording and concert performer. Bassoons, flutes, clarinets, and saxophones are all part of Chad’s freelance life. Chad has performed with numerous prestigious orchestras, including the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, Philadelphia Orchestra, Boston Pops, American Symphony Orchestra, Baltimore Symphony, Harrisburg Symphony, New Jersey Symphony, Albany Symphony and L’ Opera Francais. He is an adjunct saxophone professor at Montclair State University, and a Selmer Artist.

WHY SAX-O-PHILM?

Throughout the roaring 20’s, Rudy Wiedoeft’s virtuosic style created a saxophone craze that gripped the nation, and made the sax what is it today. His innovative blend of ragtime, waltzes and concert pieces made him an instant sensation. A household name during his own era, he is now all but forgotten. My passion is to reintroduce the music of this phenomenal artist to entertain and inspire the listeners of today. I created SAX-O-PHILM: Sounds and Sights of the 20’s, to educate, enlighten and excite through Wiedoeft’s glorious style.
