About Charlie
Charlie Lovell-Jones debuted at a sold-out Royal Festival Hall aged 15. An international soloist and critically-acclaimed concertmaster of the Sinfonia of London, he won top prizes at Oxford University and the Royal Academy of Music. He studied for eleven years with Rodney Friend MBE, and currently learns with Augustin Hadelich at the Yale School of Music. He has many competition successes, and enjoys a busy international concert and recording schedule. He treasures opportunities to connect with audiences, and enjoys exploring classical music's 21st-Century capabilities. Charlie plays a fine 1777 G.B. Guadagnini violin on loan from a generous benefactor.
"Charlie... was spell-binding with wonderful control and tone and technical ability"
- West Wight Arts Association
"...strings divided to create a textural haze, with elegant solos from the orchestra’s youthful leader, Charlie Lovell-Jones..."
- Fiona Maddocks, The Guardian
"The slow movement [of Rachmaninoff Symphony No. 3] is beautifully done...with Charlie Lovell-Jones’s violin solos later especially enticing."
- Colin Anderson, ColinsColumn
"... not simply there to perform, but to be completely entwined with the whole piece and the whole orchestra ... the mastery that Mr Lovell-Jones brought to [his solos] made them seem almost easy."
- Sally Perry, OnTheWight
"He never wavered, and he was outstanding. He had the orchestra and the audience in the palm of his hand throughout. The quality and clarity of his playing was so exquisite that I completely lost track of the time passing..."
- Jonathan Dodd, OnTheWight
