British violinist Roberto Ruisi has rapidly emerged as a versatile, charismatic and bold artist. 

 

Appointed Leader of the Hallé Orchestra in 2022, Roberto made his debut with Strauss Ein Heldenleben in October that year, and appears regularly as a soloist with the orchestra, notably performing Stravinsky's Violin Concerto to critical acclaim. In the 24/25 season, he will perform Vaughan Williams The Lark Ascending  under conductor Andrew Manze. Elsewhere, Roberto is regularly sought after as a guest leader, most recently with Philharmonia, BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra in Korea, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Japan Philharmonic, BBC Philharmonic and Britten Sinfonia.

​

On completion of his studies at the Royal College of Music in 2020, where he was an ABRSM Scholar, Roberto was awarded the highly-coveted Tagore Gold Medal for outstanding contributions. Other awards during that period include the Royal Over-Seas League String Prize and the Swiss Ambassador’s Award, and he was a recipient of the Tillett Debut Scheme.
