As an orchestral player, Karolina frequently plays Violin I or Concertmaster and has done so recently with the English Classical Players, Serafine Orchestra, London Festival Chamber Orchestra and Vivart Budaörs Sinfonietta (Hungary). She is also a founding member of Chapel Perilous, an ensemble directed by Guy James (Gesualdo Six).

Karolina has been playing the violin since the age of five and began her studies with Sue Lynn and Margaret Norris (Yehudi Menuhin School). As well as later receiving a generous Music scholarship from Reigate Grammar School, her violin tuition was generously supported by Young Sounds which enabled her to continue her violin studies with Berent Korfker, a protégé of Zakhar Bron.

Karolina is a proud alumna of Trinity College, Cambridge where she read Music, electing solo violin performance for her final year of studies. As part of the vibrant extracurricular music scene, she regularly appeared as a soloist and a leader. Highlights include Stravinsky The Soldier’s Tale, J.S Bach’s C Major Sonata on baroque instrument and Double Violin Concerto in D minor in Trinity College Chapel.

Since 2022, Karolina has been studying with Lutsia Ibragimova (Royal College of Music). She has also had private lessons and masterclasses with Nikita Boriso-Glebsky, Berent Korfker, Maxim Vengerov and Elizabeth Wallfisch.

Karolina is grateful to have received financial support from The Humphrey Richardson Taylor Charitable Trust, The Nicholas Boas Charitable Trust & Young Sounds, formerly known as Awards for Young Musicians.
