Acclaimed Dublin-born pianist and composer Philip Martin has performed with most of the major London orchestras and has given hundreds of broadcasts across Europe. His passion and interest in American music resulted in a UK/US Bicentennial Arts Fellowship, and he subsequently appeared at the ‘Britain Salutes New York’ festival. He has also performed at the BBC Proms, and besides festivals in England has appeared as both a pianist and composer at the Tanglewood and Aspen summer schools in the US.

Martin is a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Music, a member of Aosdána, and in 2012 was honoured with a professorship from Birmingham City University. He has completed a work for massed Celtic harps and instrumental ensemble, commissioned by the Music Network in Ireland to mark its 30th anniversary, with funds provided by the Arts Council of Ireland. The work received its world premiere at the Royal Hospital Kilmainham, Dublin.

His discography includes releases on the Hyperion, Naxos and Somm Recordings labels.
