Eloisa-Fleur completed her Masters at the Royal Academy of Music in June 2012 after studying with violinist Maurice Hasson. During her time at the Academy she was awarded numerous prizes, including the Edwin Samuel Dove Prize and the Mary Burgess Prize, and was supported by the MBF’s Emily English Award, the Seary Trust, the Countess of Munster and the AHRC.

Eloisa-Fleur is the Artistic Director of The 12 ensemble, an un-conducted string orchestra of a dozen young elite chamber musicians. In 2013, Eloisa-Fleur performed the Kodaly Duo at the Wigmore Hall with partner Max Ruisi on a fine 1709 Tononi kindly lent to her by Lord and Lady Strasburger, and had the pleasure of giving a recital in the Stradivarius exhibition at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, playing on a 1714 ‘beech- back’ violin from the Stradivarius collection.
