1st May, first jump in the pool this year means the beginning of summer … I leapt out quickly as it was pretty cold though … live stream tomorrow at 7pm (french time) will play some music and listen to @ednaschoice
Sometimes I do need a live audience to inspire me and @ednaschoice is perfect for that…little bit of Paganini’s cantabile. I will have a chat with my friend @edgardoprivate tomorrow evening at 7pm (french time) on the @aquazzura page 😊
Happy birthday to my grandmother @ednaschoice 😍 my friend @nicomuhly wrote this solo piece for her which I played as part of the celebration!!
Hope everyone had a lovely weekend. Have you listened to #BetweenTheClouds yet? #violin #italy #classicial #music #fyp”
The Wieniawski etude-caprices have certainly been a challenging and rewarding companion over this period!
Had a wonderful time shooting with my old friend @gillesmariezimmermann at the @belmondvillasanmichele @belmond last week. It’s a particular favourite of mine when in Florence and we had lots of fun up there. Thanks @360bespoke #theartofbelmond
Caroline…..it’s been a while @carolinejayaratnam
Are you also listening between the clouds ☁️
Back in action…it had been almost 6 months since I played in front of an audience. It means more to me now than ever to connect with everyone I play with and to after this strange period of hibernation. I went back to @oslokammermusikkfestival and visited many family members while in town which was very meaningful. I am grateful for my role as a violinist and want to share that as much as possible. Thank you @ensembleallegria and @oslokammermusikkfestival
What are your plans this weekend ?
Summer 2020…
Who else loves the Tchaikovsky violin concerto? Memories from Istanbul
Paganini style scales and arpeggios…sadly I don’t think that screaming at the beginning was for me…..Filmed by @ednaschoice who I also filmed reading in the same spot just before
My album with Itamar Golan is finally available today! Check the link in bio to listen on various streaming platforms. This was originally going to be the cover on account of the well organised clouds behind me…
Are you as excited as me for the release of ‘Between the Clouds’ – my album with amazing Itamar Golan – release 20th Nov with a few singles coming before that…check the link in my biog for pre ordering
The sparkling Caprice in a minor by Wieniawski helps keep my fingers in shape…nice to see those that joined me at my live stream last Saturday. Next time I will get questions in advance so I can be a little more organised when I’m there with you !

Sound on…I’m not much use to myself without regular and restful sleep. @myndstream provides music to encourage this transition – go and have a look. Afterall, we owe it to ourselves, to improve the quality of our slumber and become more active and creative as a result ..
I have many wonderful memories of Ida Haendel and she has been one of the greatest inspirations to me as a violinist. She had a unique and larger than life personality that enriched everyone who met her. I remember playing to her when she came to London at her rented apartment in Grosvenor square and how she once came to watch my sister in an awful school play with us. The world has lost one of the greats from an almost disappeared generation. Goodbye Ida
Live stream this Saturday (25th April) 7 PM (french time) – will be taking questions if you reply to my story and answering them with @ednaschoice after which we will have a surprise reading…. #playtimewithcharlie
