Welcome to Daria
We have another new teacher to add to our thriving music centre – we are delighted to welcome Daria Phillips to the team.
Daria began lessons on the mini-bassoon at the age of 7 as part of a council run project. She progressed through the various music ensembles within her borough before joining the music course at Junior Guildhall where she held the Bassoon Scholarship and, in her final year, received the Woodwind Prize. Daria has been invited to play with Chineke! Orchestra, an initiative that aims to promote diversity in classical music-making, on numerous concert tours and recordings. She was a Junior Artist with the London Philharmonic Orchestra (2016-17) mentored by the principal bassoonist, Jonathan Davies. Daria studied in The Hague with Gretha Tuls and at Guildhall School of Music & Drama where she won the Bassoon Prize. Daria enjoys encouraging young musicians to explore the art form and regularly works as a teacher and music mentor with various organisations.
Our bassoon pupils are looking forward to meeting Daria on Saturday!
