Chris would steward concerts for me at RCM, a few years ago he saved a graduation ceremony by getting his husband Sindre in to help out as I had no one able to work.
Chris was a truly lovely guy and will be missed by all who knew him. I just watched the funeral and still can’t believe he’s gone. My deepest deepest condolences to Sindre and all Chris’ family.
Sleep well Chris,
Love Mark
RCM House Manager
A gentleman. Kind and generous.
I join the many who are sending prayers on your way into the spiritual world. May the love that accompanies you help through guide the way. Your deeds inspire me!
I’m so so sorry for Chris’s loss
I met Chris briefly in 2018 when we were both watching the rehearsals of the Royal Opera House’s Ring Cycle, and I’m still struck by his effortless warmth and the kindness he radiated. On one day, he and I followed the music using a single score and it makes me smile to remember how clearly…
I remember hearing about Christopher long before I met him, which was during the late 90s. At the time, I was Purple’s voice teacher and lived just down the street from the McMullen-Laird family.
