Christian started his musical education at the age of eight when he was selected to be a chorister at St Georges Chapel, Windsor Castle. Whilst there, he had the opportunity to sing in events such as Princess Margaret’s Funeral, The Queen Mothers Requiem and the Garter Ceremonies.
Following a family relocation, Christian continued as a chorister at Tewkesbury Abbey where he sang solos such as the Allegri Miserere (St Thomas’ Cathedral NYC, Radio 3 Broadcast, Neresheim Abbey), Handel’s Messiah and Bach Passions.
As his voice broke, he began to train his voice as a baritone and went on to complete his education at The King’s School Gloucester where he performed in many ceremonies in the Cathedral as well as leading the school orchestra.
During this time, Christian was asked to be the conductor for the Nidus Children’s Choir. Under Christian’s leadership, the choir has grown from eight, to nearly thirty members and has recorded with Bryn Terfel, Catrin Finch, Vangelis. The Choir won the title ‘Show Choir of the World’ at the Llangollen Eisteddfod 2013, and a silver medal for Great Britain at the World Choir Games in Riga 2014.
Following on from A Levels, Christian was awarded a scholarship to study at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama in Cardiff where he graduated in 2014 with a BMus Honours.
Having taken a gap year, Christian is studying for his MA in Musicology at the University of Bristol.
Apart from the choir, Christian enjoys arranging and composing. He is currently writing music for stage plays, TV adverts and the choir and is Musical Director of the Nidus Theatre Company.
