Comments from Educators

Chris joined us for a week as a guest artist at Waubonsie Valley High School in January. Chris brought a great deal of energy and enthusiasm to his time with our students. Our kids loved working on his music and working with him one on one! In addition to rehearsing his pieces with the students, he was willing to come in and spend extra time to get our input on the pieces. This was a huge help in getting the pieces tailored to our groups and their ability level. Performing the premiere of Chris’ American Anthem with full orchestra, choir, and band will surely be a highlight of the students’ high school experience!

Comments on my setting of THE FIRST NOEL

...one of the very finest new pieces of Christmas music I have heard in years; it deserves to become a seasonal standard... beautiful from start to finish, and quite moving.
