“Coaxing an impressive range of dynamics, colours and depth of tone from her instrument, Hanslip totally engaged with the music from the outset [Prokofiev Violin Concerto No. 1]. Her full vibrato complimented perfectly the work’s more lyrical sections…."

At the age of 24, British violinist Chloë Hanslip has firmly established herself on the international stage.  Since her BBC Proms debut in 2002, she has performed regularly at major venues in England, Europe, the United States, and the Far East.  Highlights of Ms. Hanslip’s 2011/12 season include the London Philharmonic and the symphonies of Bournemouth, Moscow, Prague and Houston.  She will also perform recitals in the United States and the UK, including an eagerly anticipated return to Wigmore Hall.   

 

Recent and upcoming American appearances include the Buffalo Philharmonic, Cincinnati Symphony, Detroit Symphony, Napa Valley Symphony, Phoenix Symphony, Reading Symphony (Pennsylvania) and the Sarasota Orchestra, as well as a recital at the University of Texas in Austin.  Ms. Hanslip has appeared worldwide with the Bavarian Radio Orchestra, BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Beethoven Orchester/Bonn, Violins of the Berlin Philharmoninc, City of London Sinfonia, Hamburg Symphony, London Mozart Players, Malaysia Philharmonic, Norwegian Radio Symphony, Philharmonia/London, Orchestra Sinfonica di Lugano, Orquesta Sinfonica de Castilla y Leon, RAI/Torino, Real Filharmonia/Galicia, Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Singapore Symphony, Tampere Philharmonic, Tokyo Symphony, Tonkünstlerorchester/Vienna and the Umeå Symphony in Sweden.     

 

Among the conductors with whom Ms. Hanslip has collaborated are Petr Altrichter, Stefan Blunier, Martyn Brabbins, Paul Daniel, Sir Andrew Davis, Thierry Fischer, Claus Peter Flor, Richard Hickox, Mariss Jansons, Paavo Järvi, Michail Jurowski, Pavel Kogan, Gianandrea Noseda, Gerard Schwarz, Leif Segerstam, Leonard Slatkin, Jeffrey Tate, Christopher Warren-Green and Barry Wordsworth.

 

Already an active recording artist, Chloë Hanslip has received outstanding reviews for her two recent CDs for Naxos: the John Adams Violin Concerto with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra under Leonard Slatkin and The Violin Concertos of Benjamin Godard with the Slovak State Philharmonic under Kirk Trevor.  Her two earlier CDs with the London Symphony Orchestra for Warner Classics won her, respectively, the German ECHO Classic Award for Best Newcomer (2002), and Young British Classical Performer at the Classical BRITS (2003).  Her impressive recording catalogue continues to grow with a highly acclaimed recital disc of works by Bazzini and her latest recording, the Hubay Violin Concertos with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, released in September 2009.

 

In addition to the standard repertoire, Ms. Hanslip has a special affinity for contemporary music.  She plays the concertos of John Adams, Benjamin Britten, Philip Glass, John Corigliano, and, more recently, the 2003 Concerto by Michael Nyman, Brett Dean’s The Lost Art of Letter Writing, and Simon Holt’s Witness to a Snow Miracle.   

 

Ms. Hanslip is also an avid chamber music player. She is a regular participant in Open Chamber music at Prussia Cove, working with Steven Isserlis and Gerhard Schulz, and at the Kuhmo Chamber Music Festival in Finland, where she returned for the 40th Anniversary celebrations in 2009.

 

Chloë Hanslip studied for ten years with the great Russian pedagogue Zakhar Bron.  She has also worked with Robert Masters, Ida Haendel, Salvatore Accardo, and Gerhard Schulz.
