Originally from Sydney, Christine has a varied musical background playing the viola, piano, cornet, trumpet and as a chorister.
She has extensive arts administration experience having worked with the Sydney Theatre Company, Elizabethan Theatre Trust Orchestras, the Australian Chamber Orchestra and Musica Viva.
After a move to Cairns, Qld and a few years working in personnel and hospitality, she returned to NSW and moved into music education administration at the Blue Mountains Conservatorium and the music department at Blue Mountains Grammar School, where she remained for 22 years.
In 2018 Christine moved with her family from the Blue Mountains to Armidale.
As she was a member of the Sydney Youth Orchestra during her teenage years and, more recently, was involved in community orchestras in Cairns and the Blue Mountains, she is now very pleased to be part of the wonderful community music groups in Armidale, including the Armidale Symphony Orchestra, Armidale Brass Band and New England Wind Ensemble.
