The Artist

Since January of 2017, Philippe has shifted his focus from instrumental performance to composition and scoring for television and film. His second solo album “A Room with a Vieux” is available on iTunes. The album features extended instrumental performances specifically designed to be soundscapes. His writing work has been featured on Grammy Award-winning albums for Eddie Palmieri, as well as in feature films supervised by Luis Guerra. The work ranges from classical string quintets to Latin jazz octets to jazz quartets. As an artist, his training has prepared him to create works for Big Bands or Full Orchestras… really, the sky is the limit.

As well, as a writer, Philippe has been very busy developing new repertoire for high school and college-level musicians specifically in academic settings. There is a strong need to cultivate new music for aspiring musicians at these levels of growth. Having identified this need, for the last few years much of his time has been spent creating new works for the musicians of the future.
