Philip Sheegog
Philip Sheegog forges new possibilities for what the cello can be — with an artistic versatility and fearless commitment that have made him sought out on all ends of the musical spectrum. A champion for musical innovation, Mr. Sheegog has crafted a unique technical vocabulary influenced by a myriad of musical styles, premiered over eighty new works by living composers, and collaborated with such disparate groups as the legendary 1970’s Steve Miller Band, members of the GRAMMY-award winning Turtle Island String Quartet, the International Contemporary Ensemble, and the hip-hop/classical collective ShoutHouse. His own genre-bending duo, ARKAI, had their all-electric composition ‘Letters from COVID’ featured on TED@PMI, an international conference for over 32,000 attendees in 182 countries, and currently serve as U.S. Cultural Ambassadors through the Department of State's American Music Abroad program. Mr. Sheegog holds his degrees from The Juilliard School.
