Peter Phippen
CD/Performance Reviews
"Peter Phippen astonishes us again with flutes that are played with a style that extends beyond imagination".
Ethnotempos, France
"Traditionally, the Native American flute has
a sound that could be characterized as haunting. Few flutists, however,
bring as much warmth and richness to a single tone as Peter Phippen
does. His playing is earthy, improvised and impressionistic, offering
listeners a beautifully serene atmosphere for meditation and reflection."
Music Design. 'Night Song' CD review
"Words like 'ethereal' and 'superb' work well
on his list of critical superlatives."
David P. DeMar, Jr., Watertown Daily Times,
Watertown, New York
"Phippen has his own style--a style worth noticing."
Arizona Daily Sun
"Phippen's flute expresses reverence, sorrow,
joy and love with soft haunting clarity."
Victory Acoustic Magazine
"A rare find for lovers of flute music."
New Age Retailer, Music News and Reviews
"Peter is a real Phenomenon, He has shown a real
talent with early Native American Aerophones. I hope others will
enjoy his music as much as I."
Dr. Richard W. Payne, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Performance Reviews
"To say Peter exemplified professionalism and sheer genius
on the stage would be an understatement. He played for over two
hours and still had people wanting more."
Dr. LJ Baylis, President, The Findley Lake Nature Center, Findley Lake, NY
"Peter is a true artist in that he enlightens
through performance. I have had the opportunity to witness this
kind of artistry only infrequently during performances by R. Carlos
Nakai and Branford Marsalis. Peter Ranks among these world class
performers in terms of his virtuosity".
Paula Stuettgen, Coordinator, Student Development
and Programs, University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Summer Sessions Programs
"I am delighted to recommend Mr. Peter Phippen
to any organization seeking an outstanding music educator and/or
a wonderfully entertaining and talented performer of world flutes.
He is a gifted and dedicated teacher who patiently guides his students
to high levels of achievement, and his music performances are always
exciting, fun and informative. We are most pleased with Peter's
work in the Dallas Community Colleges and expect to have a continuing
relationship with him for many years to come."
Bill Tucker, Vice Chancellor of Planning
and Development, Dallas Community College District, Dallas, Texas
"Phippen's flute playing is overwhelmingly beautiful
and enchanting, some of the most gentle and heartfelt that I have
heard. CNU music majors are still talking about Peter's performance.
They were stunned, amazed and delighted! Peter's considerable knowledge,
professionalism, and tremendous enthusiasm really impacted the students
in a positive way."
Dr. Kathleen Joyce-Grendahl, Executive
Director, International Native American Flute Association; Professor
of Flute/Music Theory, Christopher Newport University, Newport News, Virginia
