My name is Roderick Elms and I am a London-based musician working largely
as a keyboard player with the symphony and chamber orchestras in the capital.
I'm also a busy writer/arranger and details of my music can be found below
as well as on the music page.
The photo on the left was taken backstage during a BBC Promenade Concert
on 16 August 2003. My colleague Alistair Young and I made a guest
appearance as two reluctant schoolboys with the BBC Concert Orchestra
and conductor, Rumon Gamba, to play the solo piano duet part in the suite from
Malcolm Arnold's "The Belles of St Trinians" - broadcast live on BBC2 television.

"Soiree Musicales", please click here.
Playing now: Funky Fugato for oboe, clarinet, bassoon & piano.
