Charlotte is a recent MMus graduate of the
Royal Birmingham Conservatoire. She particularly enjoys working with ensembles, but solo work has also been a big part of her music-making. Charlotte likes to play a wide range of early and contemporary repertory. As a keen flautist, Charlotte is influenced by flute repertoire, such as Bach Flute Sonatas, but it has also given her access to styles such as the Romantic style, something that is not commonly used in recorder playing.
Charlotte has had opportunities to learn from and perform in front of renowned recorder players in a masterclass setting such as
Michael Form,
Susanna Borsch, Louise Bradbury and flautist Wilbert Hazelet and ensemble masterclasses with
Piers Adams and Bart Spanhove.
Whilst studying she performed with a group of baroque instrumentalists from Royal Birmingham Conservatoire as part of the
London International Festival of Early Music, online concert series. This involved playing G.P. Telemann's Trio Sonata for Recorder, Viola de Gamba and Continuo in F major, TWV42:f3 and also G.P. Telemann's Trio Sonata for Three Recorders without Bass, TWV40:151.
Collaborating with other musicians, the ability to listen to the opinions of others and work as a group to create a successful performance, is an environment in which Charlotte thrives. Most recently, she has performed as part of a duo with organist
Harvey Stansfield at recitals including
Blackburn Cathedral,
St Faith's Church Crosby and
St Chad's Church, Poulton-Le-Fylde. As well as her instrumental performances she enjoys singing in choirs such as being involved with
Romsey Abbey for church services.
During her Masters studies at Royal Birmingham Conservatoire she had the opportunity to participate in many concerts, both as a soloist and as an ensemble player. This included: Music before 1700, Recorder with Electronics, Couperin's 300 year old Anniversary and International Woman's Day Celebration Concert. This has given Charlotte opportunities to play with different recorders and also electronic equipment.
