Anthony McGill is a prominent figure in the world of classical music, renowned for his mastery of the clarinet. As one of the leading clarinetists of his generation, McGill holds the prestigious position of the principal clarinet at the New York Philharmonic, a title he has held since 2014. Before this distinguished appointment, he served as the principal clarinet of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, further exemplifying his skill and reputation in the field.

McGill's discography showcases a versatile and innovative artist who has a deep appreciation for both classical standards and contemporary compositions. His recent recordings such as "Mozart & Brahms Clarinet Quintets" reflect his finesse in interpreting classical repertoire, while albums like "Uncovered, Vol. 1: Samuel Coleridge-Taylor" exhibit his commitment to bringing underrepresented composers to the forefront. The collaboration with composer Malek Jandali on "Concertos (1)" underscores McGill's dedication to expanding his artistic horizons and embracing modern works. With "American Stories" and "Here with You," he delivers performances that both celebrate and challenge the richness of the American musical landscape. His self-titled album "Anthony McGill" and the project "Winged Creatures," a collaboration with his brother Demarre McGill and the Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestras, further attest to his dynamic range and ability to connect with audiences through his expressive and nuanced playing.
