Peter Xifaras

InterContinental Music Awards Winner

2023 – Best of Middle East | Art Music


In his roles as a composer, guitarist, and producer, Peter Xifaras has garnered praise for successfully crossing over musical genres. He is just as comfortable writing a piece for symphonic orchestra as he is laying down a wailing blues solo on guitar. Peter’s music has been heard on hundreds of radio stations and has been on SiriusXM rotation for over a decade. As a multi-award winning artist, Peter’s music has also topped Billboard’s Classical and Crossover charts and recently been the recipient of a TELLY award!

The diverse nature of Peter’s genre-bending compositions has attracted a wide range of talented guest artists who frequently appear on his releases as well as his symphoneX Orchestra® project. Peter recently recorded with the great legendary jazz-trumpeter Shunzo Ohno for an upcoming fusion release, composed two classical works for ‘social justice’ recorded by the Czech National Symphony Orchestra and is currently working on a concerto for classical guitar – all while getting ready to score the next feature-film produced by JawDoc productions.
