Charlie Siem

Biography (read more)

Charlie Siem (born 14 January 1986 in London) is an English violinist. Of Norwegian and South African-Jewish descent, he began violin lessons at age three after hearing a broadcast of Yehudi Menuhin playing Beethoven’s Violin Concerto, and went on to study at Eton College and Cambridge University before training further at the Royal College of Music with Itzhak Rashkovsky and, in masterclasses, with Shlomo Mintz. He made his concerto debut at fifteen and performed with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at eighteen, going on to appear with major orchestras including the Israel Philharmonic under Zubin Mehta.

Siem has built a career as both a concert soloist and a public figure known for his crossover appeal in fashion and media, having modelled for major luxury brands alongside his concert career. He performs on a 1735 Guarneri del Gesù violin once owned by Yehudi Menuhin, and continues to appear with leading orchestras around the world, including regular appearances at the Night of the Proms.
