Charles Hazlewood Biography

Charles Hazlewood is an internationally renowned conductor known for his innovative approach to classical music. He has consistently challenged the traditional delivery of classical music to make it accessible to a broader audience. In his performances, Hazlewood might engage directly with the audience or incorporate multidisciplinary elements such as film or sculpture, always aiming to unlock the timeless joy of classical pieces. He is a recognized figure on British television, presenting series like the 2009 "The Birth of British Music" on BBC2, and has worked extensively with the BBC Orchestras as well as guest-conducting orchestras globally, including the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam and the Philharmonia in London.

Alongside Mark Dornford-May, Hazlewood co-founded the South African lyric theatre company, Dimpho Di Kopane, which means "combined talents." This unique ensemble started after auditions held in the townships and villages of South Africa, starting with 40 members, of whom only three had professional training. Their debut performance of Bizet's "Carmen" was later adapted into the film "U-Carmen eKhayelitsha," sung in Xhosa, which won the Golden Bear for Best Film at the Berlin Film Festival. In addition to his work with established orchestras, Hazlewood founded The British Paraorchestra in 2012, the world’s first large-scale professional ensemble of virtuoso musicians with disabilities, showcasing his commitment to inclusivity in music. This orchestra has gained international acclaim, performing at significant events such as the London 2012 Paralympics closing ceremony and the Glastonbury Festival.

Hazlewood's outspoken views on classical music presentation reflect his desire to democratize its enjoyment. He criticizes the traditional, exclusionary nature of classical music, comparing its guarded status to that of the Turin Shroud, as something perceived as untouchable and restricted to an elite club. His festival, Play the Field, held on his farm in Somerset, and other innovative projects, including his re-invention of Gay’s "Beggar’s Opera" with the new score "Dead Dog in a suitcase" with the Kneehigh Theatre Company, further demonstrate his dedication to expanding the reach and understanding of orchestral music.
