JOSEPH WYTKO
A past recipient of the prestigious Solo Recitalist Fellowship from the National
Endowment for the Arts, Joseph Wytko is Professor of Saxophone at Arizona State
University, an artist-clinician with the Selmer Company, and saxophonist with the
Phoenix Symphony Orchestra. He has performed solo recitals in Carnegie Recital
Hall, San Francisco's Herbst Theater, and at the Paris Conservatory, and has appeared
as soloist with such orchestras as the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, the Phoenix
Symphony Orchestra, and orchestras in Europe and Mexico. Included among those
orchestras with which he has performed as orchestral saxophonist are the Chicago
Symphony Orchestra, the Grant Park Orchestra, and the Chicago Civic Orchestra.
Solo performances and master classes have been presented in Poland, France, Italy,
Belgium, Canada, Mexico, Guam, and in Los Angeles and New York, and throughout
the United States. His recent/current concert schedule, which includes solo
appearances in Missouri, West Virginia, Kansas, Minnesota, Indiana, and Colorado,
also includes guest artist appearances with orchestras in Poland and solo
concerts/master classes during the 2005 Congreso Internacional de Clarinete y
Saxophon in Acapulco, Mexico. He will serve as Guest Artist Professor during the 4'
International Saxophone Festival in Szczecinie, Poland, in March 2006, and travel
again to Poland in May 2006, presenting solo concerts in numerous cities during a
two-week recital tour.
As a result of a Senior Scholar Grant from the International Research and Exchanges
Board in Washington, D.C., Dr. Wytko presented solo concerts, master
classes/seminars in Macedonia in 1994. He has also served as a resident performer in
1993 and 1995 during the Ernest Bloch Composers' Symposium in Newport, Oregon.
Joseph Wytko, whose disc recordings have been featured on United Airlines and
America West Airlines "in flight audio entertainment," has recorded on the Brewster,
Orion, TimeGrabber Digital, and ACA Digital record labels. His disc recording of
Karel Husa's Elegie et Rondeau (Brewster Records 1295) was labeled by the
composer as "perfectly musical, first-class playing — a magnificent treat."
Saxophonist Wytko, who is listed in "Who's Who in America," holds a Bachelor of
Music Education degree from West Virginia University and both the Master of Music
and Doctor of Music degrees in solo performance from Northwestern University. In
addition to his solo performing and teaching, he performs with the Wytko Saxophone
Quartet, which has been featured on National Public Radio's Performance Today. He
also performed with the quartet in the historic East Room of the White House in 1993,
per invitation from the Office of the President of the United States.
