As soloist she makes her debut with the Norrkoping Symphony/Weilerstein, Dalasinfonietten/Takacs-Nagy (Sweden) and Turku Philharmonic/Storgards (Finland), with the Tenerife Symphony Orchestra/van Soeterstède. She tours Belgium with the Flanders Symphony Orchestra, and performs in Stuttgart and Munich (Prinzregenten Theater) with the Munich Symphony Orchestra/Edusei. She also performs on tour as play/director with the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra and performs in recital across Holland and the UK.

Recent highlights for Philippens include her debut and immediate return as play/director with the Orchestre National de Lyon, performances with the Rotterdam Philharmonic at De Doelen, Netherlands Radio Philharmonic in the prestigious Zaterdag Matinee series and the Residentie Orkest both in The Hague and at the Concertgebouw Hall, Amsterdam and her return to the Barcelona Symphony Orchestra for a performance at the Palau de la Música as part of the Mozart Festival 2021.

Conductors with whom she has worked include Nézet-Séguin, Foster, Tausk, de Vriend, Hermus, Collon, Equilbey.

In recital and chamber music, Philippens plays regularly with artists such as Kian Soltani, István Vardai, Vilde Frang, Julien Quentin, Vikingúr Olafsson, Amihai Grosz, Camille Thomas and Zoltán Fejérvári in halls and festivals across Europe. A strong believer in breaking down barriers in classical music, she previously ran her own concert series ‘The Amsterdam Salon Pop-Up’, presenting highquality concerts in carefully sought-out and unusual locations in an intimate salon atmosphere.

Philippens records exclusively for Channel Classics and all her recordings have received glowing praise. The Strad described her Insight CD as being “both softly spoken and intensely powerful” and Philippens as a “dazzling performer”. Earlier albums include Dedications, featuring works by Kreisler, Fauré and Ysaye, and a recording of Prokofiev’s 2nd Concerto, described by BBC Magazine as “a triumph”.

Rosanne Philippens was taught from an early age by Anneke Schilt at the Amstelveen music school. She continued her studies at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague and the Hanns Eisler Academy in Berlin with Coosje Wijzenbeek, Vera Beths, Anner Bylsma and Ulf Wallin, receiving the highest distinction from both institutes. Philippens won first prize at the Dutch National Violin Competition in 2009 and the Freiburg International Violin Competition in 2014.

Philippens plays on the 1727 Barrere Stradivarius, thanks to the generous support of the Elise Mathilde Foundation.
