Charlie Siem

Today we are talking about the ingredients of a classical soloist in the 21st century.

From social media to working with pop stars and top fashion houses, we're welcoming the star violinist Charlie Siem.

Signum are about to release his take on Tchaikovsky's violin concerto.

Just the latest chapter in a long story, he started playing the violin aged three, he was performing concertos by 15, and has since appeared alongside the London Symphony and Royal Philharmonic Orchestras, and worked with conductors like Zubin Mehta and Yannick Nécessaire.
