A Little About Me

Violist and violinist based in the UK. Henrietta enjoys a varied career, with a special interest in Chamber Music and Contemporary Music.

Henrietta works for numerous Arts organisations, as a performer, freelancer and educator. She is a Trustee of Arts Charity ‘NW Live Arts’ who look at bringing Classical and World Music to local communities. Henrietta’s excited for a new collaboration between Music + Art at The Green Man Gallery, Buxton - it has lead to her curating a whole new Classical Music series at the Gallery. You can watch Henrietta with Trilogy Ensemble exploring chamber music for flute, viola & harp around the UK and internationally. Henrietta is also a member of the Belinfante Quartet, an exciting string quartet named after Dutch cellist and activist Frieda Belinfante.

In 2018 as part of the Rest Ensemble, Henrietta launched a CD of Robin Holloway’s chamber music and Solo Viola Sonata for Robin’s 75th Birthday celebrations. Henrietta has premiered works by composers Rhiannon Randle, Charlotte Bray, David Lancaster, Tom Armstrong, Giles Swayne and John Hawkins - to name a few and regularly commissions works with her chamber ensembles.

As an educator, Henrietta is a viola tutor at the University of Sheffield, and brings her chamber music knowledge to coaching chamber music for organisations such as the Sheffield Music Academy; Pro Corda; MusicWorks; Cambridge Summer Young Musicians (CSYM) Summer Course; and Arpeggione Viola Courses. Henri especially loves leading improvisation workshops for all ages and abilities. Henrietta works with Rosie Bowker, flautist for ‘Live Music Now’ bringing chamber music to SEND schools, Hospitals and Care Homes where the community can’t normally access high quality live music.

Henrietta believes in open, exciting programming for live music events and listens to the audience for their musical wishes. Whether a concert, workshop or tailor-made interactive performance, Henrietta believes in high quality Live Music experiences.
