Claudia Douglas
Claudia studied cello and piano at the NSW Conservatorium High School, having grown up in a musical family. Her father was a fine jazz pianist and her mother an avid concert-goer who fostered her love of music.She studied with the legendary Richard Gill and with Australian cellist David Pereira, later undertaking post-graduate studies with Molly Kadarauch at the University of Melbourne, receiving first-class honours for her performance of the Elgar Cello Concerto.
She has played with major orchestras including the Australian Chamber Orchestra and the Sydney Philharmonia and has performed in concert with David Helfgott. She has been living in Bellingen since 2008, where she teaches and performs regularly.
I have had the privilege of not only seeing Claudia's performances (spanning diverse repertoire and divine execution) but also of being tutored by her. An incredible talent not to be missed. In this little neck of the woods (Mid-North Coast, NSW), we are truly blessed to have her in the program at this lovely festival! Here's the link...
