Todd Phillips is a founding member of the Orion String Quartet, who recently presented their farewell concert at Lincoln Center after a 37-year career as one of America’s most highly-regarded and in-demand quartets.

Mr. Phillips has collaborated with such renowned artists as Leon Fleisher, Jaime Laredo, Peter Serkin and Pinchas Zukerman, and has participated in eighteen “Musicians from Marlboro” tours.
