"A hugely enjoyable and well projected recital, showing Chris
at home in a wide range of styles. The program had clearly been given
much thought and was extremely well constructed."
- Nic Pendlebury, The Smith Quartet, UK

| Solo Mandolin | |
|---|---|
Solo mandolin is perfect for smaller, more intimate settings like restaurants, private homes, small/medium sized churches and concert halls (c.300). The instrument has a captivating and haunting quality which is sure to set the mood perfectly.
Chris performs a wide range of classical music from 18th Century composers to the Romantic Italian era pieces. He can also perform folk music from various cultures such as Italian, Brazilian and Celtic providing a full musical range of repertoire to choose from. Please ask if there was something specific you were interested in. Chris is happy to play music from across his repertoire or to tailor towards a particular style; e.g. Italian or Mediterranean or Romantic or Baroque. |
