| Biography | Charles Mutter was born in 1970, in Sussex. He studied with Anthony Stevenson, Andrew Sherwood, Kenneth Piper, David Takeno and Simon Fischer.
After working in London with such ground-breaking groups as the Kreisler String Orchestra, the Smith Quartet and the Orchestre Revolutionnaire et Romantique, Charles moved to Scotland. His work with the Edinburgh Quartet attracted much critical acclaim (notably a Gramophone Editors Choice for their recordings of Hans Gal) and it was at this time that he became artistic director of the Loch Shiel Spring Festival, a post he still holds.
Charles moved back to England in 2007 to take up the post of Associate Leader of the BBC Concert Orchestra. He has led the orchestra in many of their highest-profile activities, including televised Proms appearances with Nigel Kennedy & Gwilym Simcock, the BBC2 series Maestro and a memorable concert with Burt Bacharach. He is now much in demand as a guest leader, working regularly with the CBSO, English National Ballet & Oxford Philomusica in particular. The Florin Ensemble is his latest chamber music project. |
