Antonio Hart

Antonio Hart's journey through music began when his access to it was nearly cut off. He auditioned for Baltimore School for the Performing Arts, despite limited experience, securing his passion for music. Berklee College of Music nurtured his jazz ambitions, studying under Bill Pierce, Andy McGhee, and Joe Viola. Touring with Roy Hargrove fostered brotherly bonds and led to a Grammy nomination. Hart's dedication led to recording eight albums, with "Here I Stand" earning Grammy recognition. He's a tenured Professor at The Aaron Copland School of Music, Queen's College, and an acclaimed saxophonist for The Dave Holland Big Band and The Dizzy Gillespie Big Band.
