Rachel Phillips
Rachel Phillips, originally from Newcastle under Lyme, began accompanying choirs and soloists whilst at school. After studying law at Durham University, she was accompanying the college choir at the College of Law in Chester when asked to consider joining the Rhos Orpheus Male Choir in 2005.
Rachel moved to live in Coedpoeth near Wrexham in 2010 and has continued to be heavily involved in music ever since alongside a busy career as an agricultural property Solicitor, now a Partner with Agri Advisor in Bala and Welshpool.
Starting as deputy accompanist for Rhos Orpheus Male Choir, Rachel became their Accompanist and Deputy Musical Director and was with them for 19 years until their disbanding in October 2024. Throughout that time Rachel travelled extensively with the choir throughout the UK and abroad, accompanying the choir's soloists regularly and also taking part practices.
Over the years, to keep her sane outside of all things legal, Rachel has also been involved with various other choirs and groups, including Cor Merched y Rhos, Wrexham Musical Theatre Society, Cor Ger Y Ffin, Chester Music and Theatre Society, Tattenhall Singers and Rhos Male Voice Choir, continuing to play for some of these as well as soloists.
After a number of the former Rhos Orpheus Male Choir joined the Fron, Rachel was delighted to join the Fron's Musical team in eary 2026, and is looking forward to a busy few years ahead.
