Christopher Redgate
Since his time as a student at the Royal Academy of Music, Christopher Redgate has specialised in the performance of contemporary oboe music. He has been described as having ‘extraordinary exploratory technical brilliance’ (Music Web) and of being a 'tireless champion' of extended techniques (Double Reed Magazine). This specialisation has inspired many composers to write for him and as a result he has given premiere performances of a great number of works.
Christopher Redgate holds an AHRC Fellowship in the Creative Arts at the Royal Academy of Music, which has enabled him to design a new oboe in collaboration with the instrument-maker Howarth of London.
