Background

Philip Everall is Lecturer in Classical Music at WAAPA, where he is Head of Woodwind, Musical Director of the Symphonic Wind Ensemble, and lecturer in performance, ensembles, and music history. An internationally recognised bass clarinettist, he has performed with ensembles including the Ebony Band of the Concertgebouw, The Schoenberg Ensemble, ASKO, Bang on a Can All-Stars, and Sequitur, among many others. As an orchestral clarinettist and bass clarinettist, Philip performs regularly with the West Australian Symphony Orchestra, and has been a guest with the Adelaide, Tasmanian, and Melbourne Symphony Orchestras, Orchestra Victoria, and the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra.

Philip completed his PhD at ECU, developing a digital resource for contemporary bass clarinet performance techniques. His research continues to focus on extended techniques, performer-centred approaches to new repertoire, and the relationship between notation, acoustics, and performance practice. Alongside this work, he also undertakes research in music history pedagogy, exploring ways to reconnect historical study with artistic practice so that music history becomes an active component of performance, interpretation, and musicianship for tertiary students.
