Furthermore, Philip increasingly performs as a musical director, for example with Turku Philharmonic Orchestra, directing programs from the violin.
As a soloist, Philip has performed in venues such as Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall, South Bank Centre in London, Bergen’s Grieg Hall, Kurhaus Baden-Baden, Anneliese Brost Musikforum Ruhr, and Stockholm Concert Hall, and with orchestras such as Baden-Baden Philharmonic, Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra, Camerata Nova and Orchestra di Padova e del Veneto.
An enthusiast of creating concert programs out of hidden masterpieces, Philip has given recitals in Stockholm Concert Hall’s Grünewald Hall, Uppsala Konsert & Kongress, Palladium in Malmö, on Perlman Music Program’s Stires-Stark Recital Series, and in Oslo’s University Aula.
