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 snapshots of everyday life, 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 ”

I’m delighted to be able to announce that I will be performing again at the Irish and Celtic Music Festival in Yass, 15-17 September, and also that I will be returning to the Maldon Folk Festival, 3-6 November, after many years. It is now all systems go to complete a CD-in-progress and well on the way for these events.
I’m also honoured to have been asked to be part of a panel at an open discussion on music into the future at the Dandenong Ranges Music Council. Details for all the above are in the shows list.
Warm wishes for the winter months
Christina
