Performing (1/5)
Philip's main performing activities now focus on accompanying, and Piano Duo work. In partnership with local musician and composer, Clive Jenkins, Philip has played at a number of prestigious venues in the area, including an evening recital at the City Museum & Art Gallery in October 2001, where he was specially commissioned to compose a work to mark the occasion, his Sonatina for Piano Duet. The Duo also made regular appearances in the annual WARChild Gala Charity Concerts, where their often humorous and light-hearted renditions have prompted such headlines as: 'Pianist Clive tries his hand at disco-dancing!'
THE Herald's Mr Music makes an exhibition of himself in Plymouth's museum and art gallery tomorrow night. Composer and pianist Philip Buttall writes on classical music in our weekly What's On Now supplement.Tomorrow night he is one half of a duet giving a piano recital in aid of the Friends of the Plymouth City Museum and Art Gallery, celebrating their 50th anniversary.
