Eton
Ralph was Precentor and Director of Music at Eton for 24 years. Over this period the number of teachers, lessons taught per week, concerts, Music Scholars and the size of the Music Schools all doubled and the Chapel Choir went on 27 tours, including Japan, US, China, Australia, Cuba, New Zealand, Italy, Ireland, South Africa.
He left Eton in the summer of 2011 to pursue his freelance activities.
Many thanks and congratulations for doing such a thoroughly resourceful and artistic job with the boys last night. [My son] knows his dad is rarely satisfied by the standards attained by young musicians and their mentors, so it gave me a particular pleasure to see his delight at my expressions of genuine appreciation. Last night's performance was the first time he has played in a real symphony orchestra, by the way: I can only guess at the kind of lasting impression that it will have made on a boy who turned 14 only the day before.
