Philip was born in Lancashire and took tutelage from Rachael Clegg at Chethams School of Music. He then went on to study at the Royal Northern College of Music with Melinda Maxwell and Rachel Pankhurst. Whilst still at RNCM Philip had the rare opportunity to record a premiere of Edwin Roxburgh’s oboe trio – Shadow Play, with the renowned oboist Paul Goodey. During his time at RNCM Philip won numerous prizes including the Cronshaw Lancaster Prize for Wind, Evelyn Rothwell Oboe Prize and a Henry Wood Scholarship. He then moved to London to study a Masters of Music at the RCM studying with Christopher Cowie.
As a keen chamber musician, Philip has performed with many chamber groups in venues across the UK and other venues across Europe. With this passion for chamber music he is also a tutor on several Wind Ensemble courses including the Malvern Winds, Wind Ensemble Retreat in Yorkshie and Dartington International Festival. As part of the Atéa Wind Quintet, who are the Associate Ensemble in Residence at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, Philip has recently become an oboe tutor at the Conservatoire getting to work with some fantastic young oboists. The Quintet were previously Artists in Residence at the Purcell School and double prize winners in the 2015 Carl Nielsen International Chamber Music Competition. Atéa are very thankful for the support of the Tunnell Trust, Live Music Now and the Kirckman Concert Society schemes, with whom they gave their Wigmore debut in 2015. With a passion for new music, Philip is also a member of the award winning ‘Riot Ensemble’ whose primary focus is new music which has taken him across the UK around Europe and beyond. Philip has recently worked with such orchestras as the Orchestra of Opera North, Hallé Orchestra, Birmingham Contemporary Music Ensemble, Den Fynske Opera in Denmark, London Mozart Players, Orchestra of St Johns and the London Musical Arts Orchestra. |

Rachel Broadbent started learning the oboe aged 11 after her clarinet teacher suggested she would do better on the oboe. This proved to be a successful swap and she continued her studies at Birmingham Conservatoire with Jonathan Kelly (now principal oboe Berlin Philharmonic) and George Caird. While at Birmingham she performed a variety of concertos with the orchestras and was chosen to perform Albinoni’s Double Concerto Op9 no9 with George Caird. Rachel won the Rollason Award for performance and gained a 1st class honours degree before moving to London to further her studies at Guildhall School Of Music and Drama studying with Richard Simpson.
Since leaving college Rachel has worked as a freelance oboist working in a variety of orchestras, Brandenburg Sinfonia, Glyndebourne Touring Opera, London Chamber Orchestra, and BBC Concert Orchestra amongst many others. She is principal oboe in the Southern Sinfonia with whom she has performed many baroque concertos and regularly works under the baton of Sir Roger Norrington. Alongside her orchestral work Rachel regularly works as a soloist, and a chamber musician in her ensemble Chiltern Musica. Rachel is a passionate educator and works with many young oboists and wind players teaching and coaching in schools at various events. She teaches in the Junior department of Guildhall School of Music and Drama alongside 3 schools and has coached at the Cork School of Music Double Reed Day, The Big Double Reed Day in London, Kerry Camden Wind Ensemble course at Benslow Hills and last year was invited to coach the woodwind of the Portuguese Youth Orchestra.
