He was a member of the Philadelphia Orchestra for 18 years, joining them in 1992. Wyrczynski regularly performs as a soloist and chamber musician. He prioritizes faculty-student collaborations.

Wyrczynski considers his teaching a direct result of his own relationship to performing, practicing, and listening. Teaching a student about the great privilege it is to serve the composers of our repertoire is one of the best ways for the students to gain ownership of their musical training. Most recently, he has completed a transcription of Igor Stravinsky's Rite of Spring with pianist Aram Arakelyan. Wyrczynski and Arakelyan gave the world premiere in the fall of 2024 and recorded it for Azica Records in the summer of 2025 with producer Alan Bise. A printed edition is published by Songburd Music.
