Biography
Ruth Whybrow is a freelance woodwind instrumentalist based in London. She studied flute, saxophone and clarinet at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance. Alongside her performance studies, Ruth completed a dissertation on the art of ‘doubling’ on multiple woodwind instruments.
Highlights of Ruth’s career to date include ‘Cats' international tour, 'Spamalot' South Korea/UK Tour, panto (QDOS 2019, Aberdeen and Imagine theatre 2016-2018, Reading), and playing on the studio cast recording of ‘The Clockmaker’s Daughter’. Ruth also hugely enjoyed touring the UK with the chamber opera ‘Ulla’s Odyssey’ from 2015-2017 where she led pre-show workshops alongside one of the actors, helping to make the show more accessible to a young audience, thus making a rewarding performance experience.
As well as performing in pit orchestras (wherever the work takes her!), Ruth enjoys teaching woodwind instruments and playing in other music ensembles when opportunities present themselves.
Please contact Ruth for any performance, recording or teaching enquiries.
