Phillip Wright is among the younger generation of up and coming classical guitarists. Phillip studied with Glenn Caluda at Shenandoah University and with Richard Provost at the University of Hartford Hartt School.
As a performer he has attended the master classes of David Tannenbaum, William Kanengiser, Judicael Perroy, Oscar Ghilia, Andrew York, and Alan Goldspiel.
As a soloist he has played concerts in such venues as Cumberland County Community College, Miss Porter’s School for Girls, Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts, as well as numerous recitals at Shenandoah Conservatory and the Hartt School of Music. He has participated in the “Momentum” concert at the Hartt School. This concert gives each composer one hour to write a piece and the performers one hour to rehearse with the composer before the concert.
Phillip has performed concertos with the Frederick City Orchestra and the Middletown Orchestra in his home state of Maryland. He also has experience playing in such chamber groups as guitar orchestra, guitar trio and duo, flute and guitar, and cello and guitar.
Phillip has also participated many years in the University of Hartford International Guitar Festival featuring Alan Goldspiel, David Tannenbaum, William Kanengiser and Andrew York. The festival is a weeklong series of master classes and performances.
Not foreign to the electric guitar, Phillip has written, recorded, and performed with bands Crimson Sky, Abandoned, and Of Dreams And Madness. He has also been the guitarist in off Broadway shows: Annie, Oklahoma, Fiddler on The Roof, and Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

Hi, and thanks for the friendship! The Danish composer Per Nørgård's music has been much on my mind the past few years. Arguably the most important now living Scandinavian composer also has a remarkable output for the guitar. I spent a couple of years working with the composer on this repertoire, spanning from 1973 to 2000, in order to embrace the emerging performance practice associated with his work.
I have just uploaded 10 new tracks, all taken from "Tales From the North", my double CD box with the complete guitar works of Danish composer Per Nørgård. Also, in my latest blog you will find recent reviews of this release.
For further reading about the composer, this is an excellent website, with articles by a series of scholars and performers that have dedicated much study to his work:
