Philip Moore was born in 1976 and is originally from the Vale of Evesham. He studied at London’s Royal Academy of Music with Hamish Milne, during which time he won many prizes. Upon leaving he was awarded the Meaker Fellowship, and was appointed an Associate of the RAM in 2003. In 2004 he became a Steinway Artist.

He has performed in the United States, Canada, Korea, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Sweden, Switzerland, Ireland, Tunisia, and at all of the major UK venues. He has recorded for radio and television throughout Europe and appeared as a concerto artist with, among others, the Philharmonia Orchestra, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Academy of St. Martin in the Fields and ViVA. He has worked with many international artists, giving duo and chamber music performances and broadcasts with groups such as the Hebrides Ensemble (with which he has recorded for Linn Records), ECO Ensemble, Conchord, Britten Sinfonia and Olivier Ensemble. In 2006 he and fellow-pianist Andrew West began a two-year collaboration with Michael Clark Dance Company, playing Stravinsky’s two-piano version of Rite of Spring at the Barbican Theatre and worldwide on tour.

Philip’s piano duo with Simon Crawford-Phillips has won international prizes and awards and was selected for representation by Young Concert Artists Trust in London from 2001 to 2006. They received a Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship in 2004. The Duo has performed internationally, and at major UK festivals such as Edinburgh, Aldeburgh, City of London, Brighton and Bath. They have made frequent appearances as concerto artists and recitalists at the South Bank and Wigmore Hall. Frequent performers on BBC Radio 3, they made their Proms debut in 2001, and have recorded on the Deux-Elles label to critical acclaim. In 2008 they gave the world premiere of Detlev Glanert’s Two Piano Concerto, co-commissioned by the Duo and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, and conducted by Martyn Brabbins.

Philip lives in North London with his wife and two sons.
