Lottie Mahoney flute, Jamie Salters clarinet

The artists come to us recommended by the head of woodwind at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire. They will perform separately with piano accompaniment, and will also play together with the pianist as a trio. The pieces will be from their final conservatoire recitals. As a Club we welcome this opportunity to give young players a chance to gain performance experience.

Lottie Mahoney, originally from Norfolk, has been a student at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire since 2021. She studies flute with Marie-Christine Zupancic and piccolo with Andrew Lane. Lottie has earned places on the Birmingham Royal Ballet’s Student-in-Residence Scheme and the CBSO Training Scheme, regularly rehearsing with orchestras in London and Birmingham. She has performed at venues such as Symphony Hall, the Royal Shakespeare Theatre and Birmingham Rep. An avid soloist and chamber musician, she performs in concerts and competitions with her successful flute duo.

Jamie Salters has enjoyed his time studying at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire where he has been able to develop his skills in solo, chamber and orchestral playing. In the summer of 2024 he performed the Weber Concerto No.1 with the Wandsworth Symphony Orchestra as a soloist. In 2025 he was a finalist for the RBC Woodwind Prize and won the prestigious John Ireland Prize playing Ireland’s Fantasy-Sonata. Jamie is also a member of the Nebula wind quintet, who have performed many times externally and reached the final of the Leamington Prize. Another passion of Jamie’s is for orchestral playing, and he has enjoyed being part of the CBSO training scheme, the WNO side-by-side scheme and the BRB side-by-side scheme. One of his highlight concerts orchestrally came in 2025, playing first clarinet for Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No.2. Jamie hopes to pursue a career as both a soloist and an orchestral player.
