John Roberts

Glasgow born John Roberts has been based in London since enrolling at the Royal College of Music in 2008, and after an intense bout of studies, he quickly became immersed in the city’s rich orchestral scene, and was appointed principal oboe of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in 2013.

Nowadays John still holds his position in the RPO as well as being principal oboe in the English Chamber Orchestra and the Academy of St Martin in the Fields. He has performed concertos in Europe, Asia and Africa, and is also a very keen chamber musician, having toured extensively with ASMF chamber and worked at various times with London Winds, the Gaudier Ensemble, Zarek Chamber and London Sinfonietta.

In recent years John also has a small presence on CD, having recorded Poulenc’s Sonata, Trio and Sextour with the pianist Mark Bebbington, and a solo number in John Rutter’s “I Sing of a Maiden” EP.
