ROY THEAKER

  • Location: Melbourne, Australia
  • Instrument/Speciality: Viola, Violin, Conducting

Hi :) I've performed as a Guest Concertmaster with Sydney, Melbourne, Singapore & Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestras plus the Hong Kong Philharmonic. My solo playing is heard by millions of Melbourne Theatre goers, and I'm also a Conductor - recent engagements include with RTE Concert Orchestra in Dublin & Bulgarian National Radio Orchestra, plus I'm the ongoing Artistic Director of Stonnington Symphony and Southbank Music Productions. Into commercial music as well, I conducted Disney's Musical "The Lion King" in both the West End & Melbourne runs.

I've sat on both sides of audition and competition screens in Europe, the UK and Australia, and I lecture at Melbourne and Monash Uni.

 

I learnt about music making at the Yehudi Menuhin School, Royal Academy London and the Vienna Con (class of Prof. Boris Kuschnir) plus on the job with the Academy of St.Martin-in-the-Fields who I played with for years.

 

So happy you're here, would love to meet you and help however I can!! Let's get in touch :)
