 Chloe Hanslip

Chloe Hanslip was born in England. Her father works with computers and her mother teaches
dance. Chloe began playing the violin when she was two. Her parents bought her a special
violin which was small enough for her to use. Her sister played the piano and after Chloe heard
her play something, she tried to play it on her violin. From the age of four, she played at
concerts in Britain and America and in 1999, she was a child violinist in the Hollywood film
Onegin.
Many teachers offered to give Chloe lessons but when she was seven she met Professor Zakhar
Bron, she was certain that he was the right teacher for her. His work takes him around the world
and each year she flies thousands of kilometres to his classes.

Chloe was only fourteen when she made her first CD, but she says she is just like any other
teenager. “I have lots of friends and I love pop music. Getting better on the violin is important,
but I also make sure I have time for other things”
