Alfred Charles Hobday

Alfred Charles Hobday

Alfred Charles Hobday (b. Faversham, 19 April 1870; d. ?) was an English viola player who made his career in England. He was (apparently) the elder brother of the double-bass player Claude Hobday.

Hobday studied at the Royal Academy of Music in London. He played in several leading string quartet musical ensembles, notably at St James's Hall, with Joseph Joachim, Lady Hallé, Ries and the cellist Alfredo Piatti. He also gave many viola recitals with his wife, the pianist Ethel Sharpe, later known as Ethel Hobday.

Hobday was solo viola at the Royal Covent Garden Opera from 1900-1914. He was also the leading viola of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, of the Goossens Orchestra, of the London Symphony Orchestra from its inception in 1905, and of the orchestras of the chief festivals.
