SIGNED COPY if ordered before 20 May 2016

Charlotte de Rothschild’s career has taken her all over the world. With her wide knowledge of the song repertoire, from different eras, countries and genres, she has created some wonderful themed programmes; the best known being ‘Family Connections’ which traces the musical history of her forebears with music by, and anecdotes about, the composers who were friends, teachers or ancestors of the Rothschild family during the 19th and 20th Centuries. Recently, Charlotte presented this programme in Switzerland, Japan, Singapore and the U.K.
