-Bio-
Chris began his classical guitar studies in 2016, receiving lessons from Dr Jane Curry whilst majoring in Jazz Guitar at the New Zealand School of Music (NZSM). In 2019 he was offered a position to study with Dr Paul Cesarczyk at Mahidol College of Music, which was made possible thanks to the support of the Freemasons Lankuyzen/Whetu-Kairangi Trust and VicAbroad.
Since returning to NZ in 2020 Chris has become one of the country’s most active classical guitarists performing throughout the country with ensembles such as the New Baroque Generation (Archlute and 19th Century Guitar), Kowhaiwhai Duo (Classical Guitar Duo), as well as performing locally with groups: What the Pluck? (Guitar Quartet), The Mountain Woods Duo (Flute/Guitar Eastern European music), and The SMP Ensemble (contemporary music group) in festivals such as Classical on Cuba, Performance Arcade and Fringe Festival. In addition to this, he has performed extensively as a soloist, premiering several new works including the 2019 and 2020 Matthew Marshall Composition Competition winning pieces for Classical Guitar, and most recently touring ‘Fantasy Variations’, which was kindly sponsored by the Waikanae Music Society.
In 2022 Chris Graduated from Victoria University with First-Class Honours and is currently auditioning for several Master’s programmes throughout the world.
