Caroline Besterman

Caz’s love of music began while singing in Gloucester Cathedral as a member of the choir at the King’s School, Gloucester. She began composing for the piano, her principal instrument, before branching into instrumental and choral music while at Cambridge University. She holds an MA from Cambridge and an ABRSM Diploma.

As a composer, Caz’s work has been premiered by the Brunel Sinfonia and the Red Maids’ Chamber Choir. More recently she has branched into work for theatre productions and short films.

As a viola player, Caz has played extensively with string ensembles, symphony orchestras and quartets. She has taught music for eight years in senior schools as well as working with students at the Bristol Pre-Conservatoire.
