Brett Dill, a Truro native, began his professional career as an additional player with the Atlantic Symphony Orchestra as a 17 year old. Since then, he has been a member of the Thunder Bay Symphony Orchestra, Orchestra London, and the Royal Winnipeg Ballet Orchestra. Brett has played extensively with the Canadian Opera Company; Symphony Nova Scotia; and the Windsor, Hamilton, and Kitchener Symphony Orchestras.
Brett has also performed several Broadway, Lincoln Centre, and London West End musicals, touring through Toronto and the National Arts Centre, and he has spent more than 20 lovely summers on “The Island”, as a member of the Charlottetown Festival Orchestra at the Confederation Centre of the Arts.
Brett was the soloist for the World Premiere of John Weinzweig’s Divertimento No. 11 for English Horn and String Orchestra, and was last heard as a guest soloist with Symphony Nova Scotia playing an Albinoni concerto for two oboes with the Symphony's Principal Oboe Emerita Suzanne Lemieux, under the direction of Jeanne Lamon.
Brett performs on a somewhat rare Lorée “Low A” model oboe.
