Jacqueline Phillips, cello
Cellist Jacqueline Phillips is becoming quite a friend of Leatherhead. Many will have heard Jacqueline playing for the Music on Thursdays Swan Centre launch event on 1st March, and she gave a superb concert in the church with flautist Jane Dixon-Wayne on March 29th. Today Jacqueline presents a concert with accomplished pianist Peter Bailey.
A brilliant ‘cellist from an early age, Jacqueline studied with legendary teachers including William Pleeth, Amaryllis Fleming, Aldo Perisot, Joan Dickson and has emerged as an extraordinarily versatile and well-rounded musician; undoubtedly one of the finest British ‘cellists of her generation, with a career that has taken her round the world, including a trip to Italy to win the Rovera D’ore International competition in Genoa.
She is in much demand as a free-lance chamber and orchestral musician, guest leading the Irish Chamber Orchestra, guest sub-principal of BBC Phil and guest co- leading the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and BBC Concert Orchestra.
She founded her own group known as the Brook Ensemble and this special ensemble is the first small group to have continually given a portion of its fees to cancer charities, most recently Marie Curie Cancer Care.
Recently, in her efforts to push the boundaries of cello technique, Jacqueline has specialised in adapting known violin virtuoso solos, performances including Saint-Saens “Rondo Capriccioso” and other violin virtuoso concert pieces.
