We are sad to report the death in Bristol, after a long illness, of Robin Miller, a prince among British oboists. He was 72.

Robin was picked by Pierre Boulez as principal oboe in the BBC Symphony Orchestra and went on to play for 13 years in the Scottish Chamber Orchestra.

He was a founder member of the Nash Ensemble and was chosen by Peter Maxwell Davies to perform Strathclyde Concerto #1.

Our condolences to his wife Mary, family and friends.
