Charlotte Thiele, born in Dresden in 2000, is one of the most promising violinists of her generation. Her concerts as a soloist have already taken her to Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie, the Gewandhaus in Leipzig, the Kulturpalast Dresden and the Markgräfliches Opernhaus in Bayreuth.

​

As a musician who appreciates versatility and unusual concert formats, she is looking forward to exciting highlights in 2024/2025, among them chiefly: her solo debuts in the Nikolaisaal Potsdam and in the Wunderino Arena in Kiel with the Brandenburgisches Staatsorchester Frankfurt and Philharmonisches Orchester Kiel under the baton of Eckehard Stier. Re-invited by the Göttinger Symphonieorchester, she will perform the Double Concerto by Johannes Brahms together with her brother, cellist Friedrich Thiele. Charlotte and Friedrich can also be heard as a duo in the Semperoper and in the Frauenkirche in Dresden.

 

She works with the pianists Can Çakmur and Kiveli Dörken in chamber music concerts at the Alte Oper Frankfurt and at the Weilburger Schlosskonzerte. She is also once again invited to festivals such as the Heidelberger Frühling, Immenklang, the IMPULS Festival für Neue Musik and the Young Artist Festival in Bonn as chamber musician, soloist and concept designer. Finally, her concert with violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja in the Kulturpalast Dresden will be broadcast nationwide by Deutschlandfunk Kultur.

​

As artist-in-residence of the Bad Reichenhaller Philharmoniker, Charlotte presented a multifaceted selection of violin repertoire in their 2022-2023 season. Further successful solo performances include debuts with the MDR-Sinfonieorchester, Staatsoperette Dresden, Magdeburgische Philharmonie and the Anhaltische Philharmonie Dessau, as well as a residency at the IMPULS Festival für Neue Musik in the 2017-2018 season, featuring two world premieres dedicated to her by the Kurdish-German composer Cya Bazzaz.

​

She was recently invited as guest concertmaster by the Deutsche Oper Berlin, MDR-Sinfonieorchester, Württembergisches Kammerorchester Heilbronn, Kammerakademie Potsdam, Dresdner Philharmonie, Musikalische Akademie Mannheim and the Staatsoper Stuttgart. As concertmaster of the Giuseppe Sinopoli Academy, she is performing in the Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden since the 2023/2024 season.

​

As a member of TONALiSTEN, Charlotte founded a pilot project for musical development through composing in collaboration with Rhapsody in School and the composer Alex Vaughan, which was established at a high school in Cologne, with the prospect of nationwide expansion.

​

Charlotte was inspired by master classes with violinists such as Gerhard Schulz, Christian Tetzlaff, Julia Fischer, Augustin Hadelich and Patricia Kopatchinskaja. She is now completing her master's degree at the Franz Liszt University of Music in Weimar with Friedemann Eichhorn and Sönke Reger, and was previously a young student at the Carl Maria von Weber Academy of Music in Dresden under Natalia Prischepenko.
