Ruth Phillips

Ruth Phillips grew up in South London with her artist father, Tom, and her musician mother, Jill. Needless to say she became a cellist and married a painter. Always passionate about text, Ruth spends much of her time playing opera, namely in Paris with Opera Fuoco and in the UK with Garsington Opera, and as a continuo cellist. She lives in Provence with her husband, Julian Merrow-Smith, three cats and their adopted son, Louis.
