Charlotte Petersen
(clarsach)
Charlotte is one of Scotland’s most talented composers and arrangers of traditional music for the clarsach. She studied clarsach with Savourna Stevenson before taking her degree in harp performance at the RSAMD. Her fine compositions have delighted audiences from Stornoway to Switzerland and have been recorded by the BBC as soundtracks for several radio plays.
Together with harpist Catriona McKay, Charlotte has published the first four in a series of books containing their own arrangements for clarsach, and her current project is a book of her own compositions.
Charlotte’s warm stage presence and skilful communication have made her a sought after performer for prestigious events and a very popular teacher both in Scotland and abroad.
