Moore was born in 1976 and is originally from the Vale of Evesham. He
studied at London's Royal Academy of Music with Hamish Milne, during
which time he won many prizes. Upon leaving he was awarded the Meaker

became a Steinway Artist.
He has performed in America, Canada, Germany, France,
Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Sweden, Switzerland,

radio and television throughout Europe and appeared as a concerto artist
with, among others, the Philharmonia Orchestra, Royal Philharmonic

Fields and ViVA. He has worked with many highly esteemed instrumentalists
and singers, giving duo and chamber music performances and broadcasts with
groups such as the Hebrides Ensemble (with which he has recorded for Linn
Records), Conchord, Britten Sinfonia and the Olivier Ensemble.
In 2006, he and fellow-pianist Andrew West began an
ongoing collaboration with Michael Clark Dance Company, playing
Stravinsky's Two-Piano version of Rite of Spring at the Barbican Theatre
and on tour in Europe and the United States, including Lincoln Centre, New
York. He recently joined the English Chamber Orchestra for its music
cruise, giving chamber music and song recitals with its solo artists.
Philip's piano duo with Simon Crawford-Phillips has
won international prizes and awards and was selected for representation by
Young Concert Artists Trust in London from 2001 to 2006. The Duo has given
recitals at major festivals such as Edinburgh, Aldeburgh, City of London,
Brighton and Bath, and at venues including the Concertgebouw (Amsterdam),
Barbican, Royal Opera House (Covent Garden), St. John's (Smith Square),

frequent appearances as concerto artists and recitalists at the South Bank
and Wigmore Hall and received a Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship in 2004.
Regular performers on BBC Radio 3, they made their Proms debut in 2001,
and have recorded on the Deux-Elles label to critical acclaim. In 2008
they gave the world première of Detlev Glanert's Two Piano Concerto,
co-commissioned by the Duo and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, and
conducted by Martyn Brabbins. Highlights of the coming season include
