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