Schuyler

Pianist and composer Philippa Schuyler (1931-1967) was often called the most well-traveled young person of her day, eventually performing in nearly eighty countries around the world. Along the way, she took note of everything she experienced, resulting in both musical compositions and a career in freelance journalism. From her early folk music arrangements to her mature African and Arabic inspired compositions, Schuyler’s music forms a travelogue, documenting and reflecting on the places she visited, the people she met, and the cultures she experienced.
