About
From Silence to Symphony: The story of a welsh conductor who refuses to stand still
​
Born with severe hearing loss, Robert didn’t hear birdsong until after a life-changing operation as a child. Music wasn’t just a passion—it was his revelation. Now, as an internationally recognised conductor, he transforms that early silence into powerful, electrifying performances that leave audiences on their feet.
​
From his early days as a professional freelance viola player working with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, Opera North and the Allegri String Quartet, to standing on the podium with world-class ensembles, he has built a career defined by bold leadership, relentless energy, and a belief that music can transform lives.
He has conducted concert broadcasts for Classic FM and the BBC, and has led orchestras and choirs from London's West End to Hong Kong, Austria and Kazakhstan. He has worked with orchestras such as the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and the Kosovo Philharmonic, and in October, he will make his debut with the City Chamber Orchestra of Hong Kong
