After gaining a music degree from Sheffield University, Chris attended the Guildhall School of Music and Drama where she had lessons with William Bennett. She then continued her flute studies with Jonathan Snowden and now has a very varied and successful freelance career.
As a soloist, she gave her Purcell Room debut to much critical acclaim and BBC Radio 3 have twice included her recording with pianist Timothy Murray of Chaminade’s Serenade des Etoiles in a Composer of the Week programme.
As an orchestral player Chris is much in demand. She is sub-principal flute with the highly acclaimed London Chamber Orchestra and holds the same position with the Orchestra of St Johns.
Chris is a very experienced teacher. She started this aspect of her work at university and hasn’t stopped! Currently she is Lead Tutor in Woodwind at the London College of Music. In her role as head of the department she not only teaches the flute but also looks after all aspects of wind student performance studies.
She is also experienced teacher of adults, especially those who wish to return to the flute after a long break. She is a currently a diploma examiner for ABRSM and a highly respected adjudicator at Music Festivals around the country.
Chris is also the editor of the flute music catalogue at Just Flutes.
