Internationally renowned jazz vibraphonist Tony Miceli has established himself as one of the primary voices on the mallet instrument, winning hearts and minds wherever he plays. His achievements, however, go much further beyond.
A sought-after recording artist, Miceli is an inspired educator who delivers vibraphone master classes the world over, enriching the students of Ireland, Germany, South Korea, Italy, for example, with an accompanying concert finale.
He is the co-creator of the World Vibes Congress, a formal gathering of players who share the desire to bring public awareness to the vibraphone.
Miceli also leads the Philadelphia Mallet Quartet which includes Behn Gillece, Oliver Mayman, and Morgan Walbridge who will be performing in Empie Theatre Sunday, September 14th, at 2 PM.
