Ella O’Neill, pianist

Tagg-Petersen Duo

Philippa Harrison, pianist
Find people you love to play with, and collaborate with composers and all other artists taking on every opportunity with gusto and dedication, wherever you are invited perform. A good sense of humour and other hobbies are also vital!
