Programme Note
Charlotte Spruit and Sergio Bucheli perform a programme comprising both solo and duo Baroque repertoire, from composers including Biber, Purcell, Matteis, de Visée, Westhoff and Eccles. Both performers are musicians of critical acclaim, and work extensively throughout the UK and abroad both as soloists and chamber musicians.
Netherlands born violinist Charlotte Spruit is a prize winner of numerous international competitions, including the Young Classical Artists Trust International Auditions 2023 first prize and audience prize and the Genuin Classics prize at the Leipzig International Johann Sebastian Bach Competition, as well as prizes at the Kloster Schöntal International Violin Competition, Concours International Arthur Grumiaux, Oskar Back Violin Competition and Anton Kersjes Violin Prize in 2020. She is a 2023 Grand Prize winner of the Young Classical Artists Trust’s International Auditions, and was selected as one of Classic FM’s ‘Rising Stars’ of 2024.
A keen chamber musician and soloist, Charlotte has performed at prominent locations such as the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Wigmore Hall in London and the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg. As a concerto soloist, Charlotte has played with numerous orchestras, including the Residentie Orkest The Hague, The Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra, the Pauliner Barockensemble, and Ensemble Esperanza.
Charlotte also enjoys exploring different ways of bringing music to the audience. She has collaborated with artist Jérémie Queyras, creating performances combining painting and music. Together they won the first prize at the Goodmesh Concours in 2022.
Charlotte is also extremely grateful to The Stanley Picker Trust for their support during her time with YCAT.
Born in Mexico City, Sergio Bucheli moved to the UK to study at the Yehudi Menuhin School thanks to a bursary funded by The Rolling Stones. In September 2016, Sergio was awarded an ABRSM scholarship to study lute at the Royal Academy of Music with Elizabeth Kenny.
A sought after continuo player, Sergio is the principal lutenist of The English Concert, La Nuova Musica and a “New Ensemblist” with Arcangelo. He also plays with Early Opera Company, The Irish Baroque Orchestra, Ensemble Marsyas, English Baroque Soloists and Fretwork.
Sergio is a keen chamber musician and often collaborates with Lawrence Power and the Collegium orchestra for the West Wycombe Chamber Music Festival. He is also a frequent duo partner with soprano Ruby Hughes.
