I participated in the London Symphony Orchestra String Scheme and served as section leader for the Southbank Sinfonia from 2002 to 2003.The first time I performed at the Norrlandsoperan was in 2004, in Jan\u00e1\u010dek\u2019s opera *Jen\u016ffa*. I am employed as an alternate section leader and play a double bass built by P\u00f6llmann in 2015.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I began my musical journey as a violinist using the Suzuki method. I had the opportunity to start playing the double bass when I was 11, and it quickly became clear that the bass was my instrument. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s fantastic <strong>to have such variety in<\/strong> my job<strong>\u2014performing<\/strong> opera, symphony concerts, and chamber music. I\u2019ve tried to think of some of my favorite moments over the years, and it\u2019s hard to choose because there are so many. I\u2019ll never forget Sibelius\u2019s *Kullervo* with Kristjan J\u00e4rvi in 2006. The Estonian National Male Choir with Susanna Levonen and Fredrik Zetterstr\u00f6m as soloists. What a piece, what a choir!    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think my favorite opera has to be *Blanche and Marie* by Mats Larsson Gothe, written for Ume\u00e5\u2019s year as European Capital of Culture in 2014. It\u2019s something special to premiere such a great, newly written opera. I really loved performing it.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through chamber music, I\u2019ve had the opportunity, among other things, to play in a double bass quartet with a storyteller, tour the county for preschoolers, and perform Burt Bacharach\u2019s music with a string quintet and a singer\u2026 These occasions are special; you get to interact with the audience up close and draw a lot of energy from that connection.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-noor-blocks-column col nb-column col-12 col-lg-4 col-xl-3 offset-xl-1\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-noor-blocks-group nb-group  p-32 px-md-128 px-lg-48 py-lg-32 bg-beige-2 no-event-sidebar\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-noor-blocks-group nb-group d-flex flex-column row-gap-24\">\n<picture class=\"wp-block-noor-blocks-image nb-mask nb-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/norrlandsoperan.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/charlotte_petersson_2X5A5365_webb-liggande.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/norrlandsoperan.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/charlotte_petersson_2X5A5365_webb-liggande.jpg 540w, https:\/\/norrlandsoperan.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/charlotte_petersson_2X5A5365_webb-liggande-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/norrlandsoperan.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/charlotte_petersson_2X5A5365_webb-liggande-300x234.jpg 300w\" class=\" object-fit-contain object-position-center\"><\/picture>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-noor-blocks-group nb-group  p-32 bg-white\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-noor-blocks-heading nb-heading nb-cursor-default nb-heading-h5\">Personal<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I&#8217;m not at work, I spend time with my family, and I&#8217;m also learning how to sew clothes.<br\/>I listen to a lot of podcasts in both Swedish and English.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":4120,"menu_order":125,"template":"","meta":{"musician_role":"Double bass"},"class_list":["post-22054","musician","type-musician","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 -
