Charlotte de Rothschild studied at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria
and at the Royal College of Music in London. She specialises in
the recital and oratorio repertoire. She has a particularly interesting
and unusual approach in tailoring her recital programmes to specific
themes: the best known is the "Family Connections" programme
in which all the songs are by composers who were either friends,
teachers, or ancestors of her family during the last two hundred
years. 1994 marked the 250th anniversary of the birth of Mayer Amschel
Rothschild, the founding father of the dynasty, and Charlotte performed
her special programme all over the world. Some of the concerts took
place in original Rothschild houses. Her CD "Family Connections
has had world-wide success. Other themes presented in major concert
halls or festivals are "Flower Songs", Women of the Old
Testament" that she devised for the B nai Birth Music Festival.
