RUTH ROGERS
Violin
Ruth Rogers studied with Itzhak Rashkovsky and Herman Krebbers. Described as 'the finest of the younger generation of violinists' (Musical Opinion) and hailed by The Guardian as 'superb', Ruth is in demand as soloist, leader, and chamber musician. She was awarded the Tagore Gold Medal, the Royal College of Music’s highest accolade.
She appears regularly at such prestigious venues as The Wigmore Hall with The Aquinas Piano Trio and has made many recordings as part of that ensemble, including recent releases by Naxos which have been very well received by the critics.
Ruth was appointed as Leader of the London Mozart Players in 2015 and Leader of the Brighton Philharmonic Orchestra in 2022. She worked as Co-Leader of the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra from 2008 until 2012 and appears as a guest leader of many other major orchestras including the Royal Philharmonic, Hallé, BBC Philharmonic, the CBSO and the Scottish Chamber Orchestra.
Ruth regularly leads the orchestra of Gran Canaria and has performed as a soloist in many different countries. Ruth has played to orphans, landmine victims and malaria patients in refugee camps on the Thailand-Burma border.
