The Program

Christian’s family programs place musical relationship at the center. Rather than presenting a fixed recital, each engagement can draw from the strengths of the participating artists and the needs of the presenter—from an intimate father-child performance to a chamber-leaning trio or a larger program connected with workshops and community activities.

Christian & Camille

A father-child collaboration moving among classical repertoire, jazz, folk music, improvisation, and familiar songs. Their shared history creates a natural musical dialogue that works especially well for family and educational audiences.

Expanded Family Programs

Engagements may also be developed with Dalton and other collaborators, allowing the program to take different forms according to the venue, audience, and artistic goals.

Chamber-Leaning Trio

For select engagements, Christian can develop a trio program with Camille and cellist Karl Henry, combining family connection with a chamber-music sound suited to concert series, universities, and European or American presenters.

An Emerging Chamber Configuration

Build a Broader Engagement

Family performances can be combined with workshops, school visits, side-by-side ensemble work, conversations about creative development, or other residency activities. The format can be adapted to the age and interests of the audience without sacrificing musical depth.
