Robert Silla

His revolutionary vision of the oboe, the risky

interpretations always on the edge and its

addictive sound, make Robert Silla an oboist of

reference.

Highlighted by critics for his "assurance, poise and

elegance", Robert Silla combines his work in

orchestras, with chamber music concerts and

recitals.

With a long experience as an orchestra soloist,

at 22 he won his first position as a principal oboe

in the Orquesta de Oporto. Later he became part of

the Orquesta Nacional de España, where he

continues to carry out this work. In addition, Robert Silla has been a guest at the Orchestra of the Teatro alla Scala in Milan, where he has played with Maestros such as Riccardo Chailly, Daniel Gatti and Georges Pêtre among others.

He is also a guest musician at Gävle Simfoniorkester and Plural Ensemble and has collaborated with Orquestra del Gran Teatre del Liceu, Orquestra de Cadaques, Orquesta Musicaeterna and festivals such as Rurhtriennale or Salzburg.

In 2008 he participated in the first online audition worldwide for the Youtube Symphony Orchestra, which led him to play at Carnegie Hall with Maestro Michael Tilson Thomas. A media experiment that was echoed by the international press.

His interest in chamber music has led him to undertake projects in which the originality and the vindication of all the oboe's possibilities are key elements, such as the Ensemble Sinergia, an eclectic group that was a resident ensemble at the Teatro Arenal in Madrid, or his peculiar Oboe Solo recitals.

Among his future projects include research and recovery of missing chamber music works of the XVIII century, which will soon be released, or a duo project with the legendary pianist Jorge Luís Prats.

Robert studied at the Valencia and Castellón conservatories, where he obtained the extraordinary end-of-degree prize in the Vicente Llimerà class and the Euterpe award for the best academic career, he extended his studies with Emanuel Abbühl at the Staatliche Hochschule für Musik in Mannheim and with Maurice Bourgue in private classes, besides dedicating himself to the study of historical interpretation with Albert Romaguera.

Robert Silla is a Marigaux artist and plays with an oboe Marigaux model 901
