Phillips, Andrew., 1965-2005

Born in 1965, Andrew Phillips was diagnosed with Crohn's disease at the age of 11. From then on he endured many years of ill health. He died in 2005.

From an early age Andrew had a strong passion for music and as a child he studied cello and timpani and played in local orchestras. He won a place at The Purcell School, then at Harrow-on-the-Hill to pursue his music studies. When his health allowed, he attended many performances, particularly at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, but also in New York, Salzburg, Madrid and Paris.
