Xanthe's first experiences as a cellist began with free lessons and a free instrument from the London Borough of Haringey. Their support continued with a seven-year scholarship to the Royal College of Music Junior Department. At eighteen, she decided to follow a different career path yet continued studying the cello, winning a bursary for lessons at The Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
A busy working life paused formal cello studies, but she has recently reignited her passion for playing, returning to an active performance schedule.
Solo recitals in 2025 included venues in Norfolk, Hertfordshire and her home county of Suffolk. She also plays with several chamber ensembles giving concerts in Cambridge and Ely. She leads the cello sections of a number of amateur orchestras and has performed with the European Doctors Orchestra at Cadogan Hall and the newly formed Barbican Sinfonietta at Sinfonia Smith Square in London.
Xanthe is enthusiastic about sharing her music and volunteered with Suffolk Refugee Support providing weekly music sessions at an asylum-seekers' hotel until it was closed in 2024. She gives workshops in primary schools in Suffolk leading to offers of free lessons for some of the children she inspires.
She hopes that you enjoy this varied programme of music including old favourites and some new discoveries.
