Claire studied cello at the RNCM in Manchester (BMus, PGdip, MusM), with Leonid Gorokhov and Kim Dinitzen, and studying baroque cello with Richard Boothby and David Watkin. She also later gained an MMus at Manchester University, researching the the sources and inspiration behind modern day continuo cellist's performance practices. She had performed across the UK with the Halle, Liverpool Philharmonic and Manchester Camerata and is a keen advocate and performer of new music. Her recording of The Seventh Door by Panos Demopolous is soon to be re released on the Metier label and she recently gave the UK premier of Unidentified Edges and Into the World of Light for Soprano and cello by Geoffrey Palmer. She has also made the debut recording of Dance Curves for piano trio by James Redlinghueys. As a baroque cellist Claire is a Visiting Professor in Performance at Aberdeen University and a founding member of early music Ensemble AB24, Baroque in the North and is part of the continuo team that makes up the Aberdeen Early Music Collective. The Collective's recent recording of Ruggieri Sonatas and Cantatas is already gathering glowing reviews. Claire is also a regular performer of Bach's solo cello suites.
