Eulalie Charland

Biography

Violinist Eulalie Charland has performed as a soloist and chamber musician in various important concert venues and festivals such as Radio France in Paris, the Purcell Room and Conway Hall in London and at the Cheltenham Festival to mention but a few. Her playing has been described as “elegant…strong and possessing uncomplicated projection” (The Strad, April 2008).

As a chamber musician she is equally at home with the classical as well as the contemporary post 20th century language of composers such as Timothy Salter, Judith Weir, Philip Cashian, Hugh Wood, Thea Musgrave, Graham Fitkin and Karl Fiorini. She has commissioned various works for solo violin, violin and piano as well as trios from contemporary composers and is passionate about collaborating and exploring the diverse and individual soundscapes of the artists she works with. These collaborative projects have culminated in a multitude of performances as diverse as Film Festivals to dance and music collaborations.

Eulalie is founder of Trio Aquilon and chamber ensemble Synchrony , which seeks to prioritise women in chamber music by offering them an exciting platform to explore their creativity and collaboration. By championing the works of women past and present, they transform audience expectations through embracing bold new norms and an intimate experience of live music.

Eulalie Charland is currently violin professor at the Junior Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
