Re: Orchestre de la Suisse Romande Past Oboists ...

sounds like a fun research project :-)

Great orchestra, used to have LP's in my former life over there

pity orchestra websites don't link access to their musicians archives with such basic info as tenure dates, old bio's and concert listings, have found one or two that do, but certainly not commonly found ... yet?

presume you've already searched OSR online and found they only have les directeurs artistiques depuis 1918

IMO most direct route would be to contact OSR's historian/archivist via public relations yourself, do you or a colleague know anybody already in OSR, or used to be there?

how about good old standby reference publications by OUP?
such as Who's Who in Music, or any other such reference works
maybe OUP has their own publication library-archives of their older out of print publications?

are you active alumni of any university, or associate college?
Alumni privileges usually include use of their library with contacts worldwide

London public library membership? Ask the librarian to help connect you specifically to their online resources most likely useful for your research

BBC Radio archives for that period might be interesting, all those concerts they aired included OSR
