Biography
Charlotte performs widely across the United Kingdom, as well as developing an international profile with solo appearances in Germany and the USA.
Her performances combine technical mastery with lyricism and clarity of expression, communicating an artistry that feels both spontaneous and deeply considered.
Innovative in her programming, she has been praised for bringing a refreshing breadth and balance to recitals. In exploring both the timeless and contemporary, she is an advocate for music that can speak and resonate with the spirit of our current millennium.
Her 2026-2027 projects include a series of recital programmes exploring music’s dialogue with human experience — Despair and Transcendence, Liebe und Leben, and The Rest is Silence: Music of the Oppressed. These programmes reflect her belief in the power of classical music to illuminate and perhaps challenge contemporary life and give voice to complex emotional and social landscapes.
She is passionate about the continuous evolution of classical music as a living, vital artform - one that renews itself through dialogue with diverse influences and human experiences.
A regular soloist with orchestras in both Britain and America, Charlotte has performed concertos by Tchaikovsky, Sibelius, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Dvořák, Glazunov, and Elgar. Her collaboration with conductor Martin Binks MBE and the Leeds Symphony Orchestra, performing Bruch’s Violin Concerto as Artist-in-Residence at the Wetherby Arts Festival, was particularly noted for its lyricism and emotional insight.
In 2023 she toured Scotland, including performances in the Orkney Islands where she also led a workshop on violin-making and sound production for the Orkney International Science Festival - an event reflecting her curiosity for the instrument’s craftsmanship and acoustical soul.
Together with her duo partner, pianist Charlotte Stevenson, she appears at distinguished venues and chamber music societies touring widely across Northern and Central Scotland, Yorkshire, Wales, Southern England, the Midlands, Essex, Kent, and East Anglia. The duo has performed in many of Britain’s finest cathedrals with critically acclaimed appearances at festivals such as Edinburgh, Wetherby, Buckingham, East Devon, Harwich, Horsham, and Crail.
Charlotte is a graduate with High Honours from the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore, USA, where she was invited to study age sixteen, as a recipient of the Ruth Blaustein Rosenberg Scholarship. In her first year, she served as concertmistress of the Conservatory Undergraduate Orchestra, performing under Leon Fleischer and featuring on the Washington Performing Arts Series with Rob Kapilow. She has performed for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor in Washington, D.C., and taken part in masterclasses with Midori and the Juilliard String Quartet.
Her teachers have included Jerre Gibson, Violaine Melancon, Stephanie Gonley and Ofer Falk.

Charlotte performs on a Fridolin Rusch violin (2005) of Memmingen, Bavaria.
Away from the concert stage, she finds inspiration in languages, beautiful gardens, medieval castles and climbing through mountain landscapes — from the Lofoten Islands in Norway to the Tzoumerka Mountains of Greece.
