Robert Farley
was born in 1963 in Dartford, Kent, UK. He started playing the trumpet at the age of six and a half after seeing the trumpet featured on a television programme presented by Andre Previn and the London Symphony Orchestra. After dismissing a career playing Rugby in favour of the trumpet he went on to study at the Royal College of Music, London with Michael Laird and John Wallace.

This led to working with most of the UK's major Symphony Orchestras as well as most of its period instrument groups. He is principal trumpet for Harry Christophers and the Orchestra of the Sixteen, The Hanover Band and also regularly performs and records as principal trumpet with Frieder Bernius and Stuttgart Baroque. He has also recently been appointed as principal trumpet for the Carmel Bach Festival, California. He is professor of trumpet and baroque trumpet at The Royal Academy of Music and Trinity Laban, London.
