INSTRUCTOR INFO
Chris started playing piano at the age of 8, inspired by his mother and a 78rpm record (google it – it was a real thing!) featuring Van Cliburn and the Grieg piano concerto. There started a lifelong love affair with the piano and classical music. Chris is a past president of the St. Albans Society for the Performing Arts, co-director of the Grand Isle County Chorus and often can be found helping at the piano for local community or school musical theater productions and choral events. He has made his home in Fairfield, VT.
