THOMAS FLIPPIN is an original and versatile voice in the world of contemporary music. Whether premiering new works with his pioneering classical guitar ensemble, Duo Noire; performing avant-garde art songs on the theorbo as part of Alicia Hall Moran’s Motown Project; playing otherworldly electric guitar in Heartbeat Opera’s The Extinctionist; or plucking the banjo in the American Repertory Theater’s The Black Clown, Flippin’s playing has been hailed as "lovely" (New York Times), and "spectacularly precise" (St. Louis Post-Dispatch).
Recent concert highlights include: premiering a new double concerto for classical and blues guitars by Chris Brubeck with the Memphis Symphony Orchestra, performances at Carnegie Hall with Alicia Hall Moran and Jason Moran, Lincoln Center’s Mostly Mozart Festival with the American Repertory Theater, the 2022 Guitar Foundation of America Convention, National Sawdust, The Metropolitan Museum, The Cleveland Orchestra, Beijing’s Peking University, the Art Institute of Chicago, and Duo Noire premieri
