christina J. george

Currently based in Boston, Christina J. George is a composer-flutist whose compositions fuse ambient music with popular styles and classical forms, drawing inspiration from the organic shapes of the natural world. 

Her commissions range from indie rock-inspired art songs for The Living Earth Show to collaborative interdisciplinary works for Novum Dance Collective. Her multi-movement setting of her own poetry, >>liminal songs>>, was recently released on loadbang’s latest album, A Garden Adorned. Her music has also been performed by the Byrne:Kozar:Duo, Radius Ensemble, Chroma Collective, Vox Venti, and Aruna Quartet.

A dedicated performer, Christina was recently part of the inaugural season of Voice of Iris, an organization committed to providing staged performance opportunities for women and gender nonconforming treble voices. Her playing is also featured on the multi-genre recording project Feels Like Honey, designed by composer-bassist Hannah Boissonneault. As a flutist, she has studied with Kimberly Reighley and Sergio Pallottelli, performed in masterclasses with Erica Peel, Greg Pattillo and Ian Clarke, and participated in the Scottish International Flute Summer School and Amy Porter’s Anatomy of Sound. As a composer, Christina is an alumnus of the Sō Percussion Summer Institute, Nief-Norf Summer Festival, and Longy's Divergent Studio and has studied with Robert Maggio, Jacob Cooper, Amy Beth Kirsten, Matthew Evan Taylor, and Andrea Mazzariello. 

Christina holds a Bachelor’s of Music in Composition and Flute Performance from West Chester University of Pennsylvania and a Master’s of Music in Composition from Longy School of Music of Bard College. 

Her favorite sound in the world is the cry of the loon reverberating around a quiet cove.
