Philip began studying the violin aged six. Two years later, he was offered a place at Chetham's School of Music in Manchester, at the time becoming their youngest pupil.

​

Philip was soon performing around the UK, and at 13 played for the first time as a soloist with an orchestra. He has performed as a member of several ensembles and orchestras, in venues including the Bridgewater Hall, the Royal Festival Hall, Manchester Cathedral, Chester Cathedral and St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.

​

In 2024, Philip fulfilled his long-held dream of setting up his own orchestra, holding several concerts at Chester's Town Hall. These were reviewed as "breathtaking", "magical" and "truly a night to remember". On 4th December 2025, the orchestra will be staging two Christmas concerts. To purchase tickets, please click here.

Philip plays a violin made in the year 1750, by a German luthier named Sebastian Klotz. Alongside his passion for the violin, he also enjoys the piano.

 

Beyond music, Philip is a keen filmmaker. His short film Pong tells the story of a ping pong ball that comes to life and goes on an adventure. The film won a BBC competition and was awarded an official 'U' certificate. Watch it here.
