Caroline Dearnley
Principal Cello

Though best known as a chamber musician, Caroline’s career encompasses many aspects of music making. The Times described her recent concerto appearance at the South Bank as an “exquisitely crafted performance”. She remains the founder Principal Cello with Britten Sinfonia and has been in demand as guest principal cello with many orchestras including the Philharmonia, London Sinfonietta and the English Chamber Orchestra.

Caroline is a member of the Joachim Trio which is well known to BBC Radio listeners and which has recorded extensively for Naxos, gaining the “Editor’s Choice” accolade from Gramophone magazine for their first CD of French music.

For several years, Caroline has particularly enjoyed collaborating with Robert Cohen at his annual festival of chamber music in the mediaeval barn at Charleston Manor.
