Born in France, violinist Charlotte Saluste-Bridoux was the 2021 grand prize winner of the Young Classical Artists Trust (London) and Concert Aritsts Guild  (New York) international auditions.

In 2022 Champs Hill Records released Charlotte’s debut solo album ‘Ostinata’ to critical acclaim, with Gramophone magazine describing her as “....an artist with something of her own to say”. Her next album, featuring Schubert works recorded with her duo partner Joseph Havlat, is scheduled for release with Delphian Records in May 2025. 

Charlotte performs widely throughout the UK and mainland Europe, including recent returns to the Wigmore Hall, Britten-Pears Arts, Konzerthaus Berlin and Radio France among others.

She has also participated in prestigious festivals across the world such as the Open Chamber Music at Prussia Cove and Australian Chamber Music Festival, and will return to Australia in early 2025 as part of the Bendigo Chamber Music Festival near Melbourne. 

In 2024 Charlotte became a member of the award-winning Chiaroscuro Quartet who perform on historical instruments, with whom she has numerous upcoming international performances. 

Charlotte enjoys playing a wide variety of repertoire, including more rarely heard solo concertos by Panufnik, Vasks and Joachim, the latter which she has performed, alongside Bernstein’s Serenade, with the Budapest Concerto Orchestra conducted by András  Keller.
