Violin and vocal phenomenon Christina Courtin has a voice that is naturally rich, strong and soulful. She performs classical harmonies over a blend of jazz, traditional, acoustic and blues music.
Christina Courtin, Kyle Sanna, and Mathias Kunzli together have a unique blend of classical, jazz, traditional, acoustic, blues and soul that has snowballed into a developing and living ensemble based in New York City. Their approach to music is forever changing, adding new sonorities and instruments to provide audience members with fresh interpretations of the songs and arrangements. Trained in violin at Juilliard, Christina brings classical harmonies and concepts to the mix while Kyle and Mathias' jazz/world music influence takes the listener to a spontaneous and alive place which is always original. Although Christina's voice has been put up against Janis Joplin, Jeff Buckley, Brad Nowell, Robert Plant and Ani DiFranco, she has developed her style into something that is quite special and her own. "Rich, strong, and soulful," (Conrad Teves) is one way of putting it, but seeing and hearing Christina live is an experience in itself.
