A multi-disciplinary musician, River Edis-Smith has performed as a violinist in ensembles such as the Hallé Youth Orchestra and Amadeus Orchestra. He has extensive experience leading violin sections (especially 2nds!) in orchestras and playing in smaller ensembles, such as pit bands in musical theatre and chamber ensembles that support choral works. Occasionally, he gets roped into playing viola.

River was a violinist with The Caprice Quartet in Surrey between 2018-2021. The Quartet performed at a range of corporate events, shopping centres, weddings and educational events. Performances included a range of popular classical works, arrangements of popular music and tailor-made compositions.

As a soloist – River enjoys performing contemporary works and showcasing them in unique visual ways. This includes collaborating with local artists, videographers and sound engineers to produce ear and eye-catching performances.
