The Artists
| Philip Clark, conductor/composer/violin and
violist, was born in Somerset, England. He began writing music at the age
of twelve, but likes to say that his composing career was put on the shelf
when, at sixtteen, he went to London to study viola at the Guildhall School
of Music and Drama. Apart from a few small pieces he did not start writing
again until several ago. In 1999 he wrote, with Morgan Simone Daleo, a
musical, “St. Francis of Assisi”, which was performed again at
St. Paul’s Memorial Church last year. Other works include
“The Flaying of Marsyas” for soprano and strings, and numerous
educational compositions which he has used in his work with the
Charlottesville High School and Village School Orchestras. In April of
this year he will be in England to conduct a performance of
“From Worlebury Hill”, a suite for soprano and chamber
orchestra written with poems by Annemarie Austin for the Weston Youth
Orchestra, an ensemble of which he was a founder member in 1958. Future
plans include a string quartet, songs, another musical and a choral work.
He has played with many distinguished orchestras, such as the London
Symphony, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the English Chamber Orchestra
and the Menuhin Festival Orchestra. As soloist and chamber musician, he
has performed all over the world. He has taught at the Universities of
Edinburgh and Lancaster in the U. K., in Auckland, New Zealand, and Kent
State University in the United States. Before coming to Charlottesville in
1991, he was Professor of Violin and Viola at Ithaca College in Ithaca,
New York. He maintains a large teaching studio in Charlottesville. Many of his arrangements are published by Latham Music, Ltd. |
