"The Scotsman" published a review of the concerts in Edinburgh with Erich Höbarth and Susan Tomes on February 12th:

In 2016, Philip Higham has been appointed Principal Cello of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra. Further information on the orchestra is available here.

Together with Sara Trickey and Tom Hankey, Philip Higham founded the Joachim String Trio in order to explore the repertoire for violin, viola and cello. The ensemble performs with gut strings and historical bows, focussing mainly on classical and romantical works, but also embracing music from the Baroque and the twentieth century. The three musicians named their new trio after the famous violinist Joseph Joachim.

On November 24th, 2015 Philip Higham will give a concert together with pianist Alasdair Beatson at Durham University. They'll present a kaleidoscopic programme combining exciting repertoire from both the 19th and 20th century, including a world premiere performance of a newly commissioned work by John Casken.
Further information can be found HERE.
