Robert Dixon is the Senior Organ Scholar of Jesus College Cambridge, where he accompanies and occasionally directs the two College Choirs in their busy schedule of services, concerts, broadcasts, recordings and tours. He was also awarded a Foundation Scholarship at Jesus College in 2011, and has recently graduated with a starred first in Theology. Although a native of St Albans, Robert was previously the Organ Scholar of Gloucester Cathedral, and prior to that, at Oundle School. He became a Fellow of the Royal College of Organists in July 2010, and is currently studying with Gordon Stewart.

Increasingly in demand both as a solo recitalist and as an accompanist, Robert has performed in a variety of guises in cathedrals, churches and concert halls throughout the UK—ranging from St Paul’s Cathedral to York Minster, and from Birmingham Symphony Hall to the Royal Albert Hall—as well as at locations in Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, India, the Netherlands, Slovakia, Ukraine, and the United States of America. He has given recitals at St John’s College Cambridge, and in Gloucester, Hereford and Worcester Cathedrals, as well as performing during the Three Choirs’ Festival in 2010 and at the Buxton Festival in 2011.

He was awarded the Brian Runnett Prize for organ playing by St John’s College Cambridge in February 2013. Robert has also played on a number of CDs, raising several hundreds of pounds for charity in the process, and has made recordings for BBC Radio Gloucestershire and for BBC Radio 2. However, his most unusual performance to date remains, aged 11, playing the oboe on the Tweenies!
