I was so thrilled to have a feature in @WEDMAGAZINE about my string arranging! I love the challenge of creating a string arrangement of a song that you wouldn’t imagine being played by a string quartet!

Cool Classics #3: From Haunting Landscapes to Sacred Emotion

In this third episode of Cool Classics, I am joined again by violinist and composer @SueAstonMusic to explore three powerful classical works—from Mendelssohn’s evocative Scottish Symphony to Beethoven’s deeply emotional Piano Concerto No. 4 and Pergolesi’s breathtaking Stabat Mater.

This series is designed to help newcomers discover classical music in an accessible and engaging way—while also offering fresh perspectives for seasoned listeners.

Featuring connections to rock and symphonic metal (including Epica), this episode explores how classical music isn’t just something to hear—it’s something to experience.

Thank you for all your support
Phil

Yesterday’s wedding at Cornish Tipi Weddings was so romantic. We played two bespoke music arrangements from film soundtracks during the ceremony that I created for our lovely couple, and they also danced to them at the end of the reception 🥰@OutsideBride

Our Two Violins Duo played for a gorgeous wedding at Caerhays Castle at the weekend! As it was an occasion with a small number of guests, our Duo was perfect to play in the compact (but adorable!) Coastguard’s Lookout, followed by drinks on the terrace at The Vean 🎻
