Charlie is a dynamic musician based in London. Equally comfortable in front of a large symphony orchestra or a primary school class, his work covers the entire spectrum of music making and is rooted in excellence and inclusivity.

Charlie has worked with some of the most high-profile groups in the UK including The Sixteen, National Youth Choirs, Gabrielli, Manchester Collective and The Hallé. Now based in London, he previously spent a successful portion of his career in the North West after graduating from the University of Manchester, and his roles while there included Director of Music at the Manchester Oratory; Musical Director of Stafford Choral Society, Cantores Olicanae and the Lindow Singers; and Assistant Conductor for Stockport Youth Orchestra and the Kinder Youth Choirs. In addition, he was Music Assistant at Manchester High School for Girls for four years which saw him leading school ensembles, teaching, arranging and composing in a thriving Music Department.

In 2023-24, Charlie was the conducting scholar for the prestigious Genesis Sixteen Young Artist Programme, which saw him gain invaluable training from Harry Christophers and Eamonn Dougan. Additionally, he was the Young Conducting Scholar for Crouch End Festival Chorus in 2020.

Currently, he is Musical Director of St. Alban’s Choral Society; the Epworth Choir in Woking and a Choral Leader for St. George’s Cathedral, Southwark - a role which sees him in contact with up to 900 state-educated children and young people each week delivering inclusive singing workshops alongside working with the Cathedral Choirs.

Charlie is also an accomplished singer both with choirs and as a soloist. He is a member of Kantos Chamber Choir which has taken him from performances on live radio to studio recordings with Decca and Delphian. Charlie has also sung with London Voices, most recently on the West End as part of the sell-out concert performance of The Hunchback of Notre Dame As a soloist, he has performed around the UK in Oratorios including Elijah and The Creation.

As a composer and arranger, Charlie is regularly writing for ensembles of all sizes and abilities. He has recently contributed original songs to The Stockport Songbook - a community-driven project led by Stockport Youth Orchestra which saw hundreds of primary school children in Greater Manchester singing together with the Orchestra. Additionally he often provides bespoke arrangements for Kantos’ immersive and original programming, from football chants to folk songs and disco bangers. More info here
