Music

Classical guitar and cello are my instruments. Solo repertoire from both are the best music you can imagine. A typical Philip Snyder concert will feature styles ranging from jazz to blues, classical to renaissance, and impressionist to modern. Recitals can either be all guitar or a mixture of guitar and cello. Composers may include Bach, Debussy, Paul Simon, and Chet Atkins.
