ELLIE BLACKSHAW (Violin – Tre Corde Piano Trio)

Following a formal musical training at the Royal College of Music in the ‘80s, Ellie has built up a considerable musical life for herself in and around Sussex.

She is in demand as a chamber musician and plays violin and viola in several ensembles. Some of her most recent memorable musical experiences have been performing Schoenberg’s Pierrot Lunaire (on both violin and viola), being soloist in Mozart Violin Concertos 3,4 and 5 and the Sinfonia Concertante (either violin or viola part).

In 2009 she was soloist in Kurt Weill’s Concerto for Wind Orchestra and Solo Violin. She does her bit to promote new music and performs each Autumn in London for the London New Wind Festival as guest violinist and locally for the “Tacet Ensemble”. Her quartet undertook a concert in 2006 performing eight new quartets in one concert  for New Music Brighton. Solo and chamber pieces have been dedicated to her by Michael Finnissey, Dudley Hyams and Patrick Harrex.

She also has a full teaching practice.
