Adjudicator - Christopher Edwards
Christopher grew up in Dorset and took a keen interest in music at an early age. Having tried several instruments as a child, he chose to focus primarily on oboe and piano, but also took singing and orchestral percussion to a high level. He won a full scholarship to study at Trinity College of Music, then went on to complete a Postgraduate Diploma at the Royal Northern College of Music. Other notable experiences at this time included performing with the London Sinfonietta Academy and the Bayreuth International Young Artists’ Programme.
Following his studies, Christopher performed regularly for a few years as a freelance oboist with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra in concerts, recordings, BBC R3 live broadcasts and education projects. Throughout this time, he built a successful teaching practice.
He now splits his time between instrumental teaching, examining for ABRSM, both in the UK and overseas, and playing tennis or padel whenever there is an opportunity.
