Charles Medlam is an English conductor and cellist also known for his performances on viola da gamba.
Medlam studied the cello with Jane Cowan (1915–1996) in London, Paris, Vienna and Salzburg Mozarteum before becoming interested in the bass viol and early performing styles.
As well as ensemble work, Medlam has begun to popularise and record the solo gamba music of composers such as Nicolas Hotman, Jean Lacquemant (Dubuisson), Sainte-Colombe and De Machy.
His work has been favourably reviewed by BBC Radio 3, the Early Music journal and others.
