Margaret Phillips
One of Britain's outstanding concert organists and teachers, Margaret Phillips has played in concert halls, churches and cathedrals throughout Europe and in the U.S.A., Canada, Australia and Mexico. Performance highlights in recent years include celebrity recitals at Westminster Abbey, St Paul’s Cathedral and the Royal Festival Hall, the last of which was broadcast by BBC Radio 3. In 2015 she gave two marathon series, each of 18 concerts, of the complete works of Bach, and her numerous CDs, which include the complete organ works of Bach, Mendelssohn, Saint-Saëns and Stanley, have been highly praised. She is much in demand as teacher, masterclass tutor and jury member; from 1996–2021 she was Professor of Organ at the Royal College of Music in London. In 2022 she was awarded the Medal of the Royal College of Organists, the highest honour given by the College.
In 1994, Margaret Phillips and her husband founded the English Organ School and Museum in former chapel premises in Milborne Port, Somerset, where there is a small collection of organs by English organ builders from the 18th century to the present day.
