An outspoken proponent of experimental sounds and expression, violinist Charlotte Munn-Wood is an improviser, chamber musician, and sought-after educator in New York City and beyond. Her music and visual art explore the textures and timbres of the natural world and of inner psychological environments.
Munn-Wood is a founding member and executive director of the Telos Consort, a group of creatives seeking to reimagine the concert experience through the performance of new and newer works by living composers. The Consort, now entering their fifth year of concertizing, looks forward to a busy season of three self-produced concerts, educational programs with the Harmony Project and the Chamber Music Society at Lincoln Center, and guest appearances at the Bridge Street Theatre and the Williamsburg Arts and Historical Society. Telos is partnering this season with art gallery THE BLANC and Mise-En_Place, and has received support from Chamber Music America, the Alice M. Diston Fund, the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, and the University of Michigan.
From 2015 – 2025, Munn-Wood was a founding member of Du.0, a two-violin ensemble specializing in experimental contemporary and noise-based improvised music. In 2024, the ensemble released its debut studio album, Thoughts From the Future, on Gold Bolus Records, and its co-composition O Most Noble Greenness on cassette through Orb Tapes.
Sought after as a private teacher, Munn-Wood maintains private studios in Manhattan and Westchester County. She recently entered her ninth year on faculty at the Larchmont Music Academy, bringing her inquiry-based teaching approach to children and adults alike. Munn-Wood is a graduate of the Contemporary Performance Program at the Manhattan School of Music where she studied with Dr. Curtis Macomber, and of Western Michigan University as a student of Renata Knific.
Away from the violin, she is an avid runner and prolific fiber artist.
