Following graduation she followed a career in theatre stage management, which included seasons at Chichester Festival Theatre, Theatre Royal Stratford East, Broomhill Opera and the Royal Court, where productions included UK and Australian tours of ‘The Weir’.

Ruth, RDMR Press Officer

Whilst studying History and Politics at the University of Leicester, Ruth kept up her keen classical music interest by regularly going to concerts at the Philharmonia Orchestra’s residence in the city, playing the flute in the flute choir and orchestra and even made it a central focus of her dissertation which explored British-Soviet Cultural Diplomacy.

After graduating, she began working in the management side of the industry, at The Agency Group’s Performing Arts Department. From there, she made the move into PR by completing a 6 month internship at another classical music PR agency, WildKat PR, where she worked with the likes of the Chamber Music Society of the Lincoln Center, the Sacconi Quartet and Orpheus Sinfonia.
