Cor Anglais

‘In taking special applause at the end, the cor anglais player, Emily Cockbill, stood for the whole orchestra’ - Nigel Jarrett, Wales Arts Review

I love the beautiful sound of the Cor Anglais and the versatility of colour the instrument can produce.

Over my career I’ve covered many of the most demanding solos from the orchestral repertoire, recently including;

The Swan of Tuonela (BBC Symphony Orchestra, Proms)

Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G major (recording with Philharmonia Orchestra) Listen Here

The Rite of Spring (Live broadcast on Radio 3, BBC Symphony Orchestra)

Dvořák’s Symphony no.9 (Live broadcast, CBSO, BBC National Orchestra of Wales)

Shostakovich’s Symphony no. 8 (Live broadcast, RSNO).
