Robert Dick

Robert Dick is a versatile and innovative artist who has made significant contributions to the world of music. Born in Edinburgh in 1975, he began his musical journey at a young age, studying violin and piano at the Royal College of Music in London, where he graduated with Honours in 1997. Dick is celebrated for his work as a conductor, having been invited to conduct the Royal Scottish National Orchestra as early as 1993. However, his artistic prowess extends beyond conducting.
