Charlotte Thiele, born in Dresden in 2000, is one of the most promising violinists of her generation.
She has already performed as a soloist in concert halls such as the Gewandhaus in Leipzig and the Margravial Opera House in Bayreuth and will make her debut at the Elbphilharmonie in 2024.
As Artist-in-Residence of the Bad Reichenhall Philharmonic Orchestra, Charlotte presented a diverse selection of violin literature in the 2022-2023 season.
Further successful performances with the MDR Symphony Orchestra, the Staatsoperette Dresden and the Göttingen Symphony Orchestra as well as a residency at the IMPULS Festival for New Music in the 2017-2018 season, including two world premieres dedicated to her by the Kurdish-German composer Cya Bazzaz, established her reputation as an artist.
She was recently invited as a guest concertmaster by the Deutsche Oper Berlin, the MDR Symphony Orchestra, the Württemberg Chamber Orchestra Heilbronn and the Kammerakademie Potsdam.
As concertmaster of the Giuseppe Sinopolie Academy, she has been a member of the Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden since the 2023/2024 season.
Charlotte is a passionate chamber musician and can be heard at the Arosa Klassik Festival, the Beethovenfest in Bonn, the Academy of Chamber Music Festival in Hohenstaufen and as part of the Heidelberger Frühling.
As an academy member of TONALi, in collaboration with Rhapsody in School and the composer Alex Vaughan, she founded a pilot project for musical development through composition, which was established at a grammar school in Cologne with the prospect of nationwide expansion.
Charlotte was inspired by masterclasses given by violinists such as Gerhard Schulz, Christian Tetzlaff, Julia Fischer and Patricia Kopatchinskaja and is now completing her Bachelor's degree at the Franz Liszt University of Music Weimar with Friedemann Eichhorn and Sönke Reger.
She was a junior student at the Hochschule für Musik Carl Maria von Weber in Dresden with Natalia Prischepenko.
