Simon Crawford-Phillips and Philip Moore are both outstanding pianists with their own solo careers, but as well as this they together form one of the pre-eminent duos of our day.

BBC Music Magazine, reviewing their performance on CD of Ravel's La Valse (which they will be playing for us) wrote: "Philip Moore and Simon Crawford-Phillips have that crucial quality of appearing to think with one brain, moving their fingers in response to a single artistic impulse, so that it seems we are listening to just one artist. This composite pianist plays with immense grace, sensitivity, enchantment and charm. A remarkable young pianist: look out for him."
We are delighted to be welcoming 'him' to the Ship Theatre for a recital which will open with a delightful Mozart work for four hands, after which they will play Schubert's haunting Fantasie in F minor. Folowing two of Ravel's own arrangements they will conclde their programme with Philip Moore's arrangement of three movements from Stravinsky's Firebird Suite - absolutely scintlllating!
