Private life[edit]
H Ernest Roberts was the founding Secretary of the Rodewald Concert Society, Liverpool and remained in post until his death after 48 years service to the Society.[1] Although he was the backbone of the Society for nearly half a century, sadly, little seems to have been recorded about his background. He was also Chairman of the Hoylake Chamber Concert Society and sang in the Liverpool Philharmonic Choir.[1] He had some success as a composer; his Mass was broadcast about 07 Apr 1938, but a later Mass in B flat was rejected by the BBC. None of his compositions appear to have been published. As well as being an expert on chamber music, he was an authority on medieval monasteries.[2]
