Orchestral Opera Ballet

 

Orchestral

Having played in orchestras since a small child it is natural that a large part of Philip's work should be in the concert hall. He is Musical Director of The West London Sinfonia and the Richmond Orchestra in London and appears as a guest conductor regularly with professional and amateur orchestras both in the UK and abroad. As well as regular symphonic programmes he has regularly given 'Pops' concerts including outdoor 'Proms' and Viennese Evenings, many of them in Vienna.

"To be involved in any way in communicating thought and emotion to an audience through music is one of the most satisfying and uplifting experiences to be had. To be the fulcrum of that process magnifies the feeling manyfold. Whether I am conducting a tortured programme of expressionist music, a 'Proms' Gala with fireworks and lasers' or anything in between, the measure of success lies in the unspoken feeling of shared experience and satisfaction which infuses the hall."
