Biography
Christina was a Foundation Scholar at the Royal College of Music, studying under the renowned Spanish harpist, Marisa Robles, and has since appeared as a soloist throughout the country, in Germany and in the USA.
She has premiered the solo works of a number of eminent British composers and is the only player to have recorded Elliot Carter's solo piece Bariolage for Radio 3.
She has worked with many of the country's leading symphony and chamber orchestras, including the London Symphony Orchestra and CBSO, has played for the RSC at Stratford, and has toured with the Northern Sinfonia Ensemble and Debussy Trio performing all the major chamber music repertoire.
Christina plays a gold Horngacher harp and was a founder member of Sonor Contemporary Music Ensemble in the USA, and is a member of the Gemini Ensemble and Arpage. Christina is also the music therapist for Acorns Children's Hospice Trust.
"A huge thankyou for helping to make the day so special for us both"
Lucy and Lincoln, North London October 2005
"It has been over one month since Christina played at our civil partnership dinner. I can still hear her magical music in my mind today. Christina is remarkable, and her music was the icing on the cake for us. Every guest has commented on her unique style and talent. Christina's music brought tears to my eyes, and I had the best evening of my life. Without Christina's classical harp music, the ambience would have been completely different. Many thanks and good luck for the future."

"Impressive strength and sensitivity" Daily Telegraph
"It had been the loveliest ceremony that they had ever attended" Thank you, Christina, for creating the perfect music that meant so much to us, our families and guests on our very special day! Nicola & Paul, West Midlands June 2006
"Christina's beautiful sounds and ability to use the right music for the right time helped make our day magical. She was a talking point of the day and everyone commented on the beautiful sounds. Christina is herself a special person and we felt so lucky to have found someone so amazing to work with. Thank you Christina - you are fantastic."
