Charlotte Rowan is regarded as one of Britain's leading violin virtuosos. Her communicative power, dazzling technique and sublime tone have resonated strongly with audiences and attracted new listeners to the violinistic genre. She has been widely praised for the innovation in her concert programming and brings a refreshing breadth and balance to recitals. Whilst preserving tradition she is dedicated to championing both contemporary and lesser well-known works and engaging more audiences with the full gamut of the violin literature. Born in Scotland, Charlotte was invited at age 16 to study at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore, USA. Selected as concertmistress of the Conservatory Orchestra in her first year, she subsequently performed under the conductor and pianist Leon Fleischer and featured on the Washington Performing Arts Series with Rob Kapilow. With her duo partner, pianist Charlotte Stevenson, she has given concert tours around Northern and Central Scotland, Yorkshire, Wales, Southern England, the Midlands, Essex, Kent and East Anglia. A regular soloist with orchestras in both America and Britain, Charlotte has a diverse concerto repertoire ranging from Baroque to 21st Century works. In recent months she has performed concerti by Tchaikovsky, Sibelius, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Dvorak, Glazunov and Elgar. www.charlotterowan.com
