Pippa lived in Belgium for most of her childhood and this is where she started playing the cello at the age of nine, having been taken to a concert and deciding that the biggest instrument (that she could still carry) had to be the best!
Pippa moved to Dorset aged sixteen and subsequently gained her undergraduate degree at the University of Birmingham, where she studied with Andrew Fuller and performed the Saint-Saëns Cello Concerto with the University Sinfonia as winner of the annual concerto competition.
