Caroline Pearsall Violin & Director
Caroline was born in Southampton to musical parents. She studied at the Birmingham Conservatoire with Philippe Graffin, Peter Thomas (CBSO), David Angel (Maggini Quartet) and Rohan de Sarum (Arditti Quartet). She received a BMus(Hons) and a Postgraduate Diploma. Her curiosity and fascination with new timbres and techniques on the violin brought her into contact with the contemporary music groups Ensemble Multilaterale, Ensemble Alma Viva (with Pablo Marquez) and Ars Nova.
She studied tango music with Juan José Mosalini and Gustavo Beytelmann in Paris and Holland after winning a bursary from The Leverhulme Trust. Since then she has performed with numerous tango groups such as Daniel Melingo (Nice Jazz Festival, Le Printemps de Bourges, Oslo World Music Festival, Radio France), Mala Pinta (Classic FM, Royal Albert Hall Cafe, Paradiso Rock Palace), the Grand Orchestra of Juan Jose Mosalini, Ensemble Montreal Tango, Quinteto El Despues, Gustavo Gancedo, William Sabatier, Tango Orquesta Imperial, La Chicana, Linea Tigre, Amelitar Baltar, Fleurs Noires, Laurent Boutros... With these different groups she has toured in Morocco, Algeria, Spain, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Holland, Sweden, England, Scotland...
In 2006 she won a Stephen Arlen Bursary to go to the International tango festival of Buenos Aires and to take lessons with celebrated tango violinists like Pablo Agri, Ramiro Gallo, Leonardo Ferreira and Mauricio Marcelli. She was very inspired by their musical ideas and the rhythm of life in the grand capital.
She founded the London Tango Orchestra in 2009 whilst doing an MA in Ethnomusicology at the Royal Holloway University of London.
In 2014 she won a Winston Churchill Fellowship to go to Buenos Aires for two months to work on a book about the history of tango violin. In 2017 the Caminito Tango Orquesta Escuela was launched and Creative Caminito CIC began in 2022.
In 2022 Caroline was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship and in 2023 she was accepted into Teachers College Columbia University in New York to pursue an EdD in Music Education. She continues to direct the projects in London and will be leading the summer courses.
