Special guest violinist Ann Christensen joins Cántico for May 22nd concert

We are excited to announce that Cántico: The Portland Chamber Singers will be joined for our May 22nd concert by special guest violinist Ann Christensen. Her gift for an expressive, powerful sound of extraordinary beauty has brought acclaim from audiences and critics alike. She has appeared both nationally and internationally as a recitalist, concerto soloist and chamber musician. Following a national competitive search, Ms. Christensen and pianist Lisa Bergman were appointed Artistic Ambassadors for the United States government and concertized extensively throughout China, Nepal, Korea, Mongolia, Taiwan and New Zealand. Her performances have also been heard via live and recorded broadcasts in NPR's Performance Today, and on KING FM (Seattle), KBPX (Spokane) and KOPB and KBPS (Portland).

Passionate about teaching, Ms. Christensen has served on the faculty of Lewis & Clark College and has taught master classes at several prestigious institutions in China, Korea and New Zealand. Previous teaching positions include Associate Instructor of Violin at Indiana University School of Music, and teaching assistant at Oberlin Conservatory.  Ms. Christensen was awarded an Artist Diploma from the Oberlin College Conservatory of Music, studying with Kathleen Winkler and was the winner of the Louis and Annette Kaufman Violin Prize. She also earned a Master of Violin Performance degree from Indiana University where she was a student of Miriam Fried.

Cántico is delighted to have Ms. Christensen join us for our concert "My Song in the Night" on Saturday, May 22nd at 8 p.m. at St. Philip Neri Catholic Church in Portland for excerpts from the Fauré Requiem and a special solo performance.
