Currently the Music Director and Chief Conductor of the Welsh Philharmonic Orchestra, and Principal Conductor of the Shropshire Chamber Orchestra, Bedwyn Lloyd Phillips is quickly gaining a reputation as an energised, focussed, and passionate conductor. Bedwyn is also a Guest Conductor of Wrexham Symphony Orchestra, and enjoys working with many other orchestras, including Chester Philharmonic, Blackburn Symphony, and Wirral Symphony Orchestras. 
 
Originally studying trumpet at university, having been principal trumpet with the Liverpool Youth Philharmonic Orchestra, Bedwyn decided to pursue conducting, and worked with both the University Philharmonic and Symphony Orchestras under the tutorage of Daniele Rosina, as well as the University's large Wind and String Orchestras.
 
While at the University, Bedwyn explored his great interest in the Austro-German tradition, which included detailed study of Gustav Mahler and the symphonic tradition. ​Bedwyn also pursues his passion for Welsh music, focusing on and advocating the inimitable works of Grace Williams. He is driven to bring the works of this pillar of orchestral music back to the concert hall after years of unjust neglect, and looks forward to working with Madeleine Mitchell on Williams' Violin Concerto in November 2025.​
 
​Bedwyn also has a passion for Ballet, and shadowed the esteemed Barry Wordsworth at the Royal Ballet, Covent Garden, during their performances of Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker.
