Ewan Millar & Tomos Boyles

Ewan Millar Oboe
Tomos Boyles Piano

Ewan Millar is one of the most prominent oboe soloists in the UK. In 2020, he won the woodwind final of BBC Young Musician, advancing to the Grand Final, and giving an “exemplary, richly shaded account” (The Guardian), of Navarro’s “Legacy” concerto with the BBC Philharmonic. Since the competition he has been performing as a soloist in recitals around the UK, including at the Windsor, Cheltenham, and Lake District Summer Music Festivals. In 2023 he was selected as a Hattori Foundation Senior Award winner, and in 2025 he won the category final of the Royal Over-Seas League Annual Music Competition, advancing to the final at Wigmore Hall in July 2025.

Ewan has performed as principal oboe with the RPO, Aurora Orchestra, Britten Sinfonia, Birmingham Royal Ballet, and principal cor anglais with the LPO and BBC Philharmonic Orchestra. Ewan is a Howarth Artist, and plays on a Howarth XM oboe, which he was kindly aided in buying by the Gerald Finzi Trust.

Ewan will be performing with his long-time collaborative pianist, the exciting young soloist Tomos Boyles.
