Christina Green is a songwriter, composer, performer and multi-instrumentalist working in both the folk/acoustic and contemporary classical music contexts. Spanning styles from folk/rock to cabaret/chanson, her songs convey stories, observations and experiences with polished lyrics and guitar work, strong images and storytelling, and are complemented in live performances by occasional instrumental pieces. As a composer Christina writes in a range of styles, with recent works for piano combining jazz and classical elements.
“Christina sums up the 21st century lyrically and musically in 2 verses and a chorus. Her ability to make every word count is astonishing ”

News - November 2019
More than a month after the Irish and Celtic Music Festival in Yass, the buzz is still lingering - what a fabulous weekend of varied music! I am looking forward to some varied appearances in November/December, beginning with an interview in which I will talk a bit about current projects, and sing some songs, on Classically Saturday, with Jules Vines, on 3MDR 97.1 FM, Saturday November 9th, 10:20am. I am also delighted and honoured to be involved in the Alex Legg Memorial Foundation Scholarship Presentation Concert on Sunday December 1st at Sooki Lounge in Belgrave, as a shortlisted applicant for the 2019 Scholarship, and look forward to participating in the concert which will feature performances by the shortlisted applicants. Writing, playing for joy, completing work in progress, dreaming the next CDs into being. All the best as the year turns toward the warm -
