Acclaimed by audiences and critics around the world for his vivid and imaginative performances, Charles Owen is equally at home as a soloist and chamber musician. A popular and frequent guest at music festivals such as Bath, Cheltenham, West Cork and Perth, Australia, Charles has also performed with celebrated orchestras - the Philharmonia, London Philharmonic and Moscow State Academic Symphony.

His solo recordings of Janácek and Poulenc for SOMM have been selected by the Penguin CD guide; the disc of Poulenc's piano music was selected by Gramophone Magazine as Editor's Choice and went on to be nominated for a Classical Brit Award in 2005. Charles has also just released a disc of 13 nocturnes by Fauré. In April 2008 he was invited to give a solo recital in the Wigmore Hall Master Series.
