I’m excited to announce that Christen Stephens will again be performing with us for our summer Chase Concert! 😀

Christen performed with us last year, and was just AMAZING! Did I mention that I love how cellos and a flute sound? After last year’s concert, I was truly tempted to start learning how to play the flute (seriously!), but I was not getting enough cello practice as it was…

Anyway, check out our video from last year’s concert created for Chito (who loves Disney) featuring cellos and a flute: Aladdin’s A Whole New World:

This year we will have two songs with the flute: Simple Gifts and an original composition by our resident composer created specifically for Kati.

A little bit about Christen: she began her study of music over twenty years ago taking private flute lessons. She was classically trained on the flute and piano and graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Music in Music Education with an emphasis in flute at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Most of her flute study was under Mark Thomas, an international soloist and the founder of the National Flute Association. Christen performs extensively locally and teaches flute and piano. As an adult, Christen began pursuing her lifetime love of the cello and is continuing to take private cello lessons while performing as a cellist with the Boulder Symphony Orchestra. To learn more about her, visit her website at christenstephens.com

Christen you’re amazing!!  😀

Truly inspiring are these talented and wonderful professionals who play alongside our group (consisting mostly of beginners to intermediate cellists) for the pure enjoyment of creating music.

Thank you Christen for sharing your love of music with us!
