About Philip Bailey
 

Philip Bailey was born in 1942 and raised in Sydney, Australia.  After taking degrees in Agricultural Economics and in Education, he became a teacher. From 1974, he taught in Britain for two years before joining the Menuhin staff.  During extensive travels with Yehudi and Diana over the course of the next twenty-two years, he and partner Tim Coupland served the Menuhins in various capacities. Between these commitments, they established an antique restoration business in London, an enterprise generously supported by both Yehudi and Diana.

After Yehudi’s death in 1999, Philip and Tim returned to Australia and now share retirement in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, near Sydney.
