About Chris

Cellist
St Albans

I have been playing cello since I was 6 years old and piano since I was 5. I've appeared on Britain's Got Talent and played in front of the Queen at the Epsom Derby. I was principal cello with the Arioso Orchestra and subsequently found the Central London Orchestra, where I was principal cello until I stepped down in late 2016. I am currently playing with the Collaborative Orchestra and sometimes in a string quartet. I sang professionally with the Australian Opera in 1977-78 in productions of Bizet's Carmen, Britten's Midsummer's Night Dream, and Mendelssohn's Midsummer's Night Dream. I studied music at Sydney University. I played viola da gamba professionally with the Renaissance Players. I have played a wide variety of classical musical. I have a special interest in musical theatre and have played musicals including West Side Story, Phantom of the Opera, King and I, Book of Morman, Carousel, Candide, Chess, Jesus Chris Superstar, and Sound of Music.
