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

 

In 2022, Roberto was appointed Leader of the Hallé Orchestra. He made his debut with Strauss Ein Heldenleben in October that year, and has since appeared as a soloist 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 appearing with BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra in Korea, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Japan Philharmonic in Tokyo, BBC Philharmonic and Britten Sinfonia, with future commitments in 2025 with Philharmonia Orchestra.

​

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.
