Hugh S Roberton (Composer)

Born: 23rd February 1874, Glasgow, Scotland

Died: 7th October 1952, Cathcart, Glasgow, Scotland

Nationality: Scottish

Sir Hugh Stevenson Roberton was a Scottish composer and Britain's leading choral-master.

Roberton was born in Glasgow, where, in 1906, he founded the Glasgow Orpheus Choir. For five years before that it was the Toynbee Musical Association. A perfectionist, he expected the highest standards of performance from its members. Its voice was a choir voice, its individual voices not tolerated.
