The first Australian to attend Germany's prestigious Kronberg Academy, where she studies with Wolfgang Emanuel Schmidt, Melbourne-born cellist Charlotte Miles, captivates with her “keen musical intelligence, assured technique and honeyed tone” (Sydney Morning Herald). A prize-winner at over 100 competitions, and a semi-finalist at the 2024 ARD Competition, Charlotte has performed with major orchestras, toured internationally, and appeared at leading festivals including AFCM, Oxford May, and Cello Biennale Amsterdam. A former ANAM and University of Melbourne student, she has toured nationally with the Australian Chamber Orchestra and the Australian String Quartet. In 2024 she was an academist with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra; from 2025, she is a substitute with the Berlin Philharmonic.
