In fall 2019 she'll be studying privately with Cole student and international soloist Lyn Harrell.Christine has performed in almost every style of music at venues along the East Coast and throughout Europe, most recently working with Music Academy International as Principal Cellist for the Mezzano Romantica Opera Festival under Conductor Neal Goren and Trentino Music Festival under Conductor David Jackson, and Section Cellist for the Mezzano Romantica Opera Festival under Conductor Christopher Larkin. Using a Vinyasa-inspired approach to teaching, she also coached young artists for their performance of Mozart's Viola Quintet (gm, K.516).Christine's broad experience as both an educator and a performer gives her the versatility to integrate seamlessly with musicians from diverse groups to perform the music she loves with passion and skill.
