Admired for her exceptional musicality as well as her virtuosity, 21 year old British violinist Chloë Hanslip is already established as an international artist of distinction. Her recent recording for Naxos, of the John Adams Violin Concerto with the RPO under Leonard Slatkin, entered the UK Classical Charts at number 2, and Phillip Clark, writing in Gramophone, concluded that 'Playing like this should secure Chloë Hanslip's reputation for life'. Her two earlier CDs with the London Symphony Orchestra for Warner Classics, won her, respectively, the German 'Echo Klassik Award for Best Newcomer' in 2002, and 'Young British Classical Performer' at the Classical BRITS 2003. This year her recordings of concerti by Godard and  recital pieces by Bazzini have also been released by Naxos.

Chloë made her BBC Proms debut in 2002, her US concerto debut in 2003, and has performed in major venues in the UK (Barbican, Royal Festival Hall, Royal Albert Hall, Wigmore Hall) Europe (Vienna Musikverein, Munich Gasteig, Prague Rudolfinum, Louvre and Salle Gaveau, Paris and the Hermitage in St.Petersburg) as well as Carnegie Hall, and the Seoul Arts Centre. Orchestras she has performed with include the Philharmonia, London, Bournemouth and Royal Scottish National Symphony Orchestras, Royal Liverpool and BBC Philharmonic Orchestras, Academy of St.Martin-in-the-Fields, English Chamber Orchestra, London Mozart Players, Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, Belgrade Philharmonic, Czech, Lithuanian and Russian National Symphony Orchestras, and the Malaysian, Seattle and Tokyo Symphony Orchestras. Recent and forthcoming conductor collaborations include Sir Andrew Davis, Mariss Jansons, Leonard Slatkin, Leif Segerstam, Libor Pešek, Tamás Vásáry, Raymond Lepard, Paul Daniel, Paavo Järvi, Kristjan Järvi, and Jeffrey Tate.

Chloë’s teachers have included Natasha Boyarskaya, Zakhar Bron, the Russian pedagogue, who was her mentor for ten years, Salvatore Accardo, and Gerhard Schulz of the Alban Berg Quartet. At ten, she appeared as the 'infant prodigy violinist' in Ralph Fiennes’ film adaptation of Pushkin`s 'Evgeny Onegin', and made a significant contribution to Maxim Vengerov’s Master Class, shown on Channel 4 as part of the documentary ‘Playing by Heart’. In recent years, Chamber Music has become an integral part of Chloë s life. She is a regular participant in Open Chamber Music at Prussia Cove and the Kuhmo Chamber Music Festival in Finland. From 2005-2007 she was invited by Seiji Ozawa to attend his Chamber Music Festival in Blonay, Switzerland, and in 2008 she received her first invitations to the Gstaad Festival and Gidon Kremer’s Lockenhaus Festival.
