Introduction

Hello, my name is Phil Bloch.

Newly relocated to Maine, I recently played First Violin with the Bangor Symphony Orchestra for their season opener, I am exicted by new possibilities while still honoring existing commintments -- and having to revise and update all sorts of information!

This past year I did lots of orchestral work, as Prinicipal Second Violinist with the Keene Chamber Orchestra, directed by Eric Stumacher. Last fall I had the awesome experience of playing a very cool viola solo in an orchestration by Hugh Keelan of the spiritual "The Blind Man Sat on the Road and Cried."

I've also been playing a lot of jazz, on violin and viola, with Vol de Nuit, the Hot Club of Portland, and others.

With new photos to post, new musical projects under way, and other developments and various kinds of busyness, I'll add more information to my website soon. Thanks for visiting!
