Phillip Lambro. Phillip Lambro was born in Wellesley, Massachusetts. He began studying music during his early teens in Boston where at seventeen he made his debut performing Chopin at the Pianists Fair in Symphony Hall. Later he continued his studies in Miami, Florida and then received a scholarship to The Music Academy of the West in California where his teachers included Donald Pond and Bartok's most celebrated pupil, György Sandor. Lambro was one of the youngest composers ever to be programmed on two separate occasions by the Philadelphia Orchestra. This great ensemble performed his Dance Barbaro for Percussion and the composer's Miraflores for String Orchestra which were broadcast all over the United States. Both of these compositions have since been played internationally. Maestro Leopold Stokowski conducted Lambro's music when the composer was barely twenty-four. Phillip Lambro has composed and conducted his music for several motion pictures, including the documentaries Energy on the Move, with which he led members of the New York Philharmonic, and Mineral King, for which he won the National Board of Review's award for best music. The conductor-composer has recorded his Music for Wind, Brass & Percussion and Structures for String Orchestra conducting the United States International Orchestra. He has also been featured conducting his own music over Radio Italiana in Europe. Phillip Lambro made musical history when the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra gave the world premiere of his Two Pictures for Solo Percussionist and Orchestra featuring John Beck as soloist. This was the first time a percussion solo had ever occurred on a classical series concert since the formation of the orchestra. Lambro later received high praise from Herbert von Karajan for this work.
