Orpheus Papafilippou - Violin

Violinist Orpheus Papafilippou has performed as a soloist in Europe, Asia and Australia, and he regularly tours around the UK giving recitals.  In March 2011 Orpheus gave a series of performances of ‘The Lark Ascending’ throughout England with the generous support of the Ralph Vaughan Williams Charity. 


As a graduate of the Royal Academy of Music, he was awarded a scholarship to further his solo studies with Carmel Kaine in Australia.  On his return to London he won both the Concerto Competition at the Richmond Festival performing the Sibelius Violin Concerto and the Silver Medal at the Marlow Music Festival.


He has performed as a soloist with numerous orchestras and is in demand as an orchestral leader.  Recent highlights include Vivaldi's Four Seasons as soloist/director with the Orfeas Ensemble, recitals at St-Martin-in-the-Fields, Mozart Violin Concerto No 5 performed for Cypriot National Television, solo violinist for The BalletBoyz in the Queen Elizabeth Hall and broadcasting on the Voice of America with the Orfeas Quartet.
