Natalie has been Concertmaster of the Gürzenich Orchestra in Cologne since 2019 and was previously 1st Concertmaster of Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra and Camerata Salzburg. Originally from Sydney, she is a regular guest Concertmaster of orchestras throughout Europe including the BBC Symphony Orchestra, which she led in the ‘Last Night of the Proms’ in 2014.

Ever since she first worked with the MSO I felt a very strong musical connection; now I look forward to sharing this collaboration with our audience in Melbourne, Australia and abroad.”
