Phil Mathieu: News

2011 is becoming a busy year for theater work. I am currently playing "Follies" at the Kennedy Center. I will then start Oklahoma (for the 2nd time) at Arena Stage
and finish in early Oct 2011. Please check back for some possible holiday concerts. There are two 2012 dates confirmed for the Potomac Guitar Trio.
Thanks to every one who supported my chamber music concerts (with Kerry Van Laanen and Carolyn Oh).
