Conductor, Sir Hugh S. Roberton
Under its distinguished conductor, Sir Hugh S. Roberton , the Glasgow Orpheus Choir is well in the forefront of British choirs. Indeed, in the singing of folk songs and part songs, the choir has few rivals in the whole world. Many of the arrangements which it uses are the work of Sir Hugh Roberton , who is one of the pioneers of the competition festival movement in Scotland. The Orpheus Choir has sung all over this country, and also in Canada and the United States.
