Philip Pan

Phillip Pan was concertmaster of the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra for 33 years before retiring in 2017. During that time, he also appeared as soloist with the Boston Pops, the Albany and Schenectady Symphonies, and the Bach Aria Festival in Stony Brook, N.Y. Mr. Pan is well-know in area music circles, performs on his seven-string electric Viper violin at clubs and events throughout Jacksonville. Writing about his Viper, he said: “I was attracted to the Viper by its stunning appearance, enormous range and great sound. I am especially impressed at how my Viper reacts precisely to the finest manipulations of the bow, with a tonal palette broader than that of any violin I have played, (including Cremona’s best!).”
