Enjoying a wide breadth of repertoire, Hatty has been studying the baroque violin for the past three years with Nicolette Moonen, and recently performed at Wigmore Hall with the Academy Baroque Soloists under the direction of Rachel Podger. Hatty is also highly interested in contemporary music and gained a coveted place on this year’s London Sinfonietta Academy.

Hatty is incredibly grateful for the generous support of the John Welch Scholarship, the Countess of Munster Musical Trust, the Stephen Bell Charitable Trust, the Lumbs Educational Trust, the Kathleen Trust and the Albert Cooper Musical Trust. She plays a violin by Guiseppe Baldantoni from 1810, on loan from the Harrison-Frank Family Foundation.
