Phil Wilcox
Bass-baritone
Phil Wilcox is a portfolio career artist,

He is regularly engaged as a concert soloist,
and his experience and advanced musicianship
make him an asset to recording sessions,

Teaching
I have over a decade of teaching experience and in that time I have worked with people of all ages and abilities to help them find a joy for singing and a freerer, more communicative sound.
Choral direction
I currently direct the wonderful Fleet Singers, a community choir based in Gospel Oak, and several choirs for Music in Offices.
I have previously founded and directed choirs for Leeds Beckett University and Ravensbourne College, Greenwich.
Workshop leading
I hugely enjoy working with singing groups of all ages and sizes!
Whether I'm working with an adult choir, a school group, a team building cohort or a bunch of people who had no idea they'd be singing; the name of the game is enjoyment and singing your heart out!
Leeds Lieder
I am very proud to be the Learning and Participation Manager for Leeds Lieder.
Our work in schools and the wider community encourages people to engage with Art Song as a relevant and exciting genre, full of characters and stories!
Phil is a Licentiate of the Royal Academy of Music.
