Rick Sowash lives by his wits. He has earned most of his living by weaving the history and folklore of his native Ohio into books which he himself writes, publishes and markets.
In earlier years, he supported his family in a variety of ways: as an elected public official, an arts administrator, a radio broadcaster, an innkeeper, a church choir director, a housepainter and a guard at the Cincinnati Art Museum.
Presently, Rick teaches music, French and literature at the University of Cincinnati’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute where he has attained the Stephen Appel Award for excellence and creativity in teaching.
Rick’s true calling is the composition of classical music. He publishes his own sheet music and has produced 18 CD recordings of his own compositions.
A storyteller/speaker all along and an increasingly recognized composer, Rick has made thousands of appearances before audiences large and small.
Rick’s Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra has been recorded on the Marquis Classics label by David Drosinos and the St. Petersburg Symphony under Vladimir Lande. His cello concerto was premiered in Carnegie Hall in 2006. His music is often broadcast on Cincinnati’s WGUC and many other classical music radio stations throughout the USA.
