Olivier Charlier has firmly established himself as one of the leading French violinists of his generation: after graduating with a First Prize degree from the Paris Conservatoire (CNSM) at 14, he became a winner of prestigious international competitions such as Munich, Montreal, Sibelius in Helsinki, Jacques Thibaud in Paris, Indianapolis, Young Concert Artists in New York. He readily became the prot\u00e9g\u00e9 of Nadia Boulanger, Yehudi Menuhin and Henryk Szeryng. He was invited by more than fifty French orchestras (Orchestre National de France, Orchestre de Paris, Philharmonique de Radio-France, Orchestre de l\u2019Op\u00e9ra…), as well as illustrious international symphonic ensembles (London Philharmonic, BBC Philharmonic, Hall\u00e9 Orchestra, CBSO Birmingham, Berlin Symphonic Orchestra, NDR Radiophilharmonie, Deutsche Radio Philharmonie Saarbr\u00fccken Kaiserslautern, W\u00fcrttemberg Chamber Orchestra, Bayerische Rundfunk, Tonhalle Orchestra Z\u00fcrich, Nederlands Philharmonisch, The Hague Residency-Orchestra, Monte-Carlo, Prague, Zagreb, New York, Pittsburgh, Montreal, Quebec city, Mexico, Tokyo, Beijing, Sydney…)
\nHis recording activities include a large concerto repertoire: Dutilleux (The Tree of Dreams), Lalo, Saint-Saens, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Vivaldi; and also Edward Gregson, Gerard Schurmann, Marius Constant and Cyril Scott. He has recorded many French chamber sonatas with the pianist Jean Hubeau (Franck, Debussy, Saint-Saens, Piern\u00e9, Vierne) and with Brigitte Engerer. He also made recordings of Beethoven\u2019s works as well as the complete works by Schumann and Grieg. The Owon trio he formed with Emmanuel Strosser and Sun-Won Yang will be celebrating 10 years of existence, with a wide range of CD releases to its credit: Schubert, Dvorak, Beethoven (complete works), Messiaen (Quartet for the End of Time); and an upcoming CD featuring works by Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich and Weinberg.<\/p>\n
