Beyond favorite venues and musical experiences, Christina has been delighted to experience numerous bizarre moments on stage. Most memorably, she was locked in a closet during a performance of Julius Eastman's Macle staged in a coal mine in the Czech Republic, and had to be rescued by climbing a ladder through the ceiling. She has also shared the stage with drones while singing the roles of actress-turned-porn-star Daphne Blueberry and “Sacrilegious Nun” in David Chesky’s La Farranucci; worn foot-tall platform shoes while delivering a semi-tonal Gertrude Stein soliloquy as Lead Singer in Petr Kotik’s Master-Pieces; and contended with bees flying up her pants during a performance of Kamala Sankaram’s Cultivars in the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens (no people or bees were harmed!). 

In addition to an active performance schedule, Christina serves as the part-time Music Associate for Advancement at the Church of St. Ignatius Loyola in NYC, where she heads up fundraising for the music program. She has taught private voice and piano lessons for over a decade, coaches style and ornamentation privately and at the Baroque Opera Workshop at Queens College, and spends a few weeks each summer as a facilitator for adult choral workshops with The Western Wind. In her free time, she is an avid kick boxing fan, enjoys cooking and baking gluten free recipes (check out The Loopy Whisk for inspo!), voraciously devours sci-fi novels and pop psychology podcasts, and occasionally tools around on the alto recorder.
