Christopher guest conducted the Surrey Mozart Players on 7 December 2019 for a performance of Brahms Variations on a Theme by Haydn, Rodrigo Concierto de Aranjuez with Giacomo Susani as soloist and Schubert Symphony no. 3 at the Electric Theatre in Guildford. Christopher delighted us with his infectious enthusiasm, charisma, warmth and humour, and conscientious and…
I met Christopher in 2003 when we were both placed in Mainz, Germany for a year of study abroad on scholarships from the Federation of German-American Clubs. We were introduced by our dear caretaker and contact person at the university, Frau Ursula Bell-Köhler. Christopher became such a dear friend. He shared his beautiful soul and…
After knowing Christopher for only a short while, it was clear to me that he was a truly exceptional person. From our very first meeting he made me feel such a special friend and valued colleague as he always offered generous words of encouragement. His incandescence shone through those beautiful eyes and irrepressible smile. Thank…

I have observed this young man’s career and many accomplishments with admiration via FaceBook. I never met him. Yet through the pictures, postings, and his music, I felt a great connection. As a musician, I grieve the loss of his talents in the future. As a teacher, I grieve for those who taught him and…
We are notes Of differing tempos On the staff if life Some of us Are conductors Who lead others In harmonies Leading to grand finales!
