MARCINIZYN, John.
Guitarist/Banjoist/Composer John Marcinizyn holds a Ph.D. in music composition and theory from the University of Pittsburgh. His versatility as an acoustic and electric guitarist allows him to perform in many styles including classical, jazz, rock, blues, and folk. His compositions include a concerto for guitar and orchestra, various orchestral works, a string quartet, many works for solo guitar, guitar with mixed ensemble, and a number of rock and jazz pieces. His Sonata for Guitar and Marimba received critical acclaim following its premiere at the Guitar Foundation of America International Festival and Competition held in Buffalo. His “Song for the Sparrows”, commissioned by the Westmoreland Symphonic Winds in memory of two members of the orchestra who were killed in the terrorist bombing of Pan Am flight 103 in 1988, premiered in November of 2005 at Seton Hill University. John also performs frequently as a soloist, with the Ferla-Marcinizyn Guitar Duo, contralto, Daphne Alderson, flautist Tom Godfrey, and with groups ranging from the Bach Choir of Pittsburgh to the Pittsburgh Playhouse Professional Company Ensemble. John teaches guitar at Carnegie Mellon University, guitar and composition at Seton Hill University, and teaches the music portion of the class "The Arts and Human Experience" through the art history department at Duquesne University. He is also on the advisory board of GSFA, the Guitar Society of Fine Arts.
