Adam Phillips is a Violinist for all Occasions
If you’ve been lucky enough to hear the renowned Violinist Adam Phillips perform live then you’ll know all about his exciting evocative sound. Whether its popular songs from the Musicals or a traditional Scottish Reel Adam brings the music to thrilling life with a verve and a depth of passion that is second to none.
Adam is certainly well placed to perform traditional fiddle, he is a direct descendant of the 18th century Scottish composer and fiddler William Marshall who is credited as creating ‘the first Strathspeys of the age’. On top of that Adam’s mixed Basque and Austro-Hungarian lineage has given him a natural affinity with both traditional and classical violin music.

After completing his music studies, Adam took masterclasses with International soloist and Menuhin student Leland Chen who was to have a considerable influence on his own playing.
“I think that gave me the confidence and experience to help me achieve my performance goals,” said Adam, “and I believe music has the ability to add that special touch to any occasion,” he continued, “it adds charm and magic and has the power to ignite emotions. I can add this sparkle to weddings, corporate functions, Christening or Bar Mitzvah.”
