Robert Emery

Robert D.C. Emery (sometimes simply known as RDCE) is a pianist, conductor, record producer, and serial entrepreneur. In 2020, he created The Emery Foundation, a charitable trust setup to help professional musicians through the Covid crisis. In 2021, he has launched his new series, Classical Connections. The 'Grand Master' composers have led fascinating lives. There are stories of cross-dressing, murder, sabotage, gluttony, love, hate, divorce, and much, much more. These great composers are connected through the trials and tribulations of being a celebrity of their time. Robert Emery takes you on a whirlwind tour, discovering these stories in an unusual way. It's possible to connect classical music to anything. And Robert proves it by connecting two seemingly random items through the world of classical music, he is challenged to link a toothbrush to nursery rhymes through classical music. He is asked to connect a plastic frog to a drainpipe. Can he do it? Robert will show and prove that these composers not only wrote music that has stood the test of time, but their character shines through in ways you'd never imagine.
