Christopher Glynn is a distinguished pianist known for his adept interpretations of classical and art song repertoire who has made notable contributions to the genre through various recordings and performances. Glynn, a graduate of New College, Oxford and the Royal Academy of Music, has carved out a niche for himself as a sensitive and versatile accompanist, as well as a soloist of considerable regard. His work often takes him deep into the realms of lieder and art song, partnering with a wide array of vocalists to bring to life the nuanced poetry and melodic structures inherent to these forms.

Child of Wonder" require a deep sense of musicality and an understanding of modern choral textures.
