Cedric Sharpe, ARCM, Hon RAM (13 April 1891 – 7 July 1978) was a British cellist, composer and music professor of the early to mid-20th century.

[4] He continued his studies with the cellist W. H. Squire at the Royal College of Music gaining a scholarship there in 1907 at the age of 16.

[3] In 1913 he married Evelyn Blanche Jennings a composer of songs and settings of poems; they had a son and a daughter.

[7] The First World War interrupted their work as some of the members were called up for service; they re-formed in 1918 with Frederick Holding and Thomas Peatfield as 1st and 2nd violins.

[7] In 1926 with Dale Smith (baritone) and Sidonie Goossens (harp) they performed in a BBC concert of contemporary music which included "Ode to a Nightingale" by Eric Fogg and Aquarelles for string quartet by John Foulds; this was broadcast from the New Chenil Galleries studios in Chelsea over the radio station 2LO.

[11] The June 1932 issue of Gramophone magazine commented:[7] These are all interesting organisations, but one cannot help wishing that Cedric Sharpe, instead of making up the ensemble of so many different combinations, would devote himself exclusively to solo work; or, following the example of the Flonzaley and Lener Quartets, found a quartet whose members would devote themselves solely to their own organisation.In 1933, the Trio Players along with Enid Cruickshank (contralto) performed three of Schoenberg's lieder: "Ewartung" and "Schenk Mir Deinen Goldenen" from Opus 2 and "Hochzeitslied" from Opus 3.

These were broadcast over London Regional along with works solely for trio by Beethoven, Berlioz, Ireland and Schubert.

[14] He contributed to books about cello technique, for example editing and revising "The Violoncello" a primer originally written by Jules de Swert in 1920.

Sharpe recorded for His Master's Voice starting in 1915 with a number of short pieces for solo cello, for example The Broken Melody by Van Biene (1915), Le Cygne by Camille Saint-Saëns (1916), Roses of Picardy by Haydn Wood (1918) and Salut d'Amour by Edward Elgar (1919).
