Philip Webb

Philip Webb is an American tenor who received critical acclaim after launching his career in operatic and classical music. In 1993, after nearly twelve years as a church music minister, Webb was encouraged by Giorgio Tozzi, a renowned bass, to pursue a career in opera. He immediately embarked on an intensive program of studies and training. In the fall of 1993, he began studying vocal technique with one of the best-known vocal teachers of her day, Margaret Harshaw, formerly of the Metropolitan Opera and the Indiana School of Music. In 2001, he began a series of studies with the internationally acclaimed Verdian tenor Carlo Bergonzi in Busseto, Italy.

Philip is also very active in sacred music, as he grew up the son of a Baptist pastor from Liberty, Missouri. Music and singing were at the forefront of his daily life at home and in church, shaping his future in operatic singing.
