DAVIES, PHILIPPA Philippa Davies has established an international reputation as one of the finest flautists currently performing, and
has given many world premières, with numerous distinguished composers dedicating works specifically to her. As
a recitalist, she plays and broadcasts throughout the world at international festivals, whilst performing concertos
and giving master classes from China to the United States. Her schedule includes many performances with the Nash
Ensemble and London Winds. Since her highly praised performance of Mozart’s D major Concerto (K313) at the
BBC Proms in 1988 she has become a popular Proms guest artist. Her own group, Philippa Davies & Friends, is a
flexible ensemble, performing works from Bach to Piazzola. She performs with the harpsichordist Maggie Cole
under the title of the Davies Cole Duo and is a founder member of Arpège. Her numerous recordings, from Mozart
to Ligeti, are best sellers. She is a Professor at the Guildhall School of Music.
