Caroline is the Leader and Artistic Curator at Manchester Camerata, often assuming the role of Soloist and Director with the orchestra. Chamber music sensibilities are at the heart of Caroline’s music-making; she enjoys regular chamber music with Camerata’s principals, and guest leads chamber music projects and chamber orchestras across the UK. In 2022, Caroline was made an Associate Member of the RNCM (ARNCM).

Caroline is passionate about enthusing and educating the next generation of musicians; she coaches and performs alongside students from the Royal Northern College of Music, Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, Chetham’s School of Music, and youth orchestras across the country. Caroline also works closely with Camerata’s 360 Scheme participants - teaching, mentoring and contributing to the design of their individual programme of study.
