Animateur & Bassoonist

Hi, I’m Ruth

I’m a freelance animateur and bassoonist and currently work all over the United Kingdom. 

Half English and half Venezuelan, I grew up in the Lake District, before studying at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London and at Hamburg Hochschule für Musik und Theater. 

In 2013 I was accepted onto the Spitalfields Music Animateur Trainee Scheme and now divide my time between my orchestral and education careers. My education work consists of presenting concerts and leading workshops. I love working with people and am passionate about classical music and making it accessible and fun for all.
