Robert Jones was born and educated in Croydon – he was a member of the renowned Trinity Boys Choir and gained the FRCO diploma while still at school, when he also ran his own parish church choir and studied the piano as a Junior Exhibitioner at the Royal College of Music.
He then became a Music Scholar at Christ Church, Oxford, graduating in Music. During this period, he sang in the choir of Christ Church Cathedral under Simon Preston, while studying the organ with Nicholas Danby and singing with David Johnston.
Subsequently he was a Lay Clerk in the choir of St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, then at Westminster Cathedral, before embarking on a career as one of Britain’s leading consort singers, featuring on award-winning recordings with the Tallis Scholars, the Orlando Consort and the Gabrieli Consort.
In recent years he has returned to his origins as a keyboard player and choral director – he has been Director of Music here at St Bride’s since 1988 and is also active as a pianist, organist, teacher, conductor of amateur choirs and examiner for ABRSM, working in the Far East as well as the UK.
