Meet the performer:
Classically trained and experimentally minded, Chicago-based saxophonist, improviser, composer, singer, and educator Phil Pierick has been called “the Swiss Army knife of saxophonists.” Though equally at home performing music spanning the past five centuries, he is an emphatic advocate for new music and has commissioned more than 35 new works and presented over 60 premieres. I CARE IF YOU LISTEN describes his duo Ogni Suono's album SaxoVoce as “a tour de force of new possibilities for saxophone and voice.” He has appeared as a concerto soloist with the Eastman Wind Ensemble, the Slovenian Armed Forces Band, and MIT (Taiwan) among others. Phil has taught at the Eastman School of Music, the University of Illinois, Butler University, the College of Wooster, and as a guest at more than 40 universities and conferences around the world.
The only prizewinner at both the Jean-Marie Londeix and ISSAC International Saxophone Competitions, Phil studied at Eastman School of Music (DMA), the University of Illinois (MM, BM), and in Vienna (Fulbright Scholar) and Paris (Beebe Scholar). His primary teachers were Debra Richtmeyer, Jean-Michel Goury, Lars Mlekusch, and Chien-Kwan Lin. Phil is a Vandoren Performing Artist. More info at PhilPierick.com.
