BlackTieViolinist Ann Christensen has earned a reputation as an exciting and accomplished artist. She has appeared both nationally and internationally as a recitalist, concerto soloist and chamber musician. Her gift for an expressive, powerful sound of extraordinary beauty has brought acclaim from audiences and critics alike.

She is devoted to the ideal that a concert performance should be a memorable and valuable experience. She describes her philosophy this way: " I want my music to communicate something important to the listener - so an idea takes flight, a deeper insight is gained, a sense of understanding vitalized."

Ann is an equally devoted and gifted teacher. Her passion for teaching has inspired students from Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon, to China's Shanghai Conservatory to Ulaanbaatar Music College in Mongolia, and many places in between!
