Born in Los Angeles in 1965, pianist Christina Dahl has had a multi-faceted career as a chamber player, soloist and teacher. Despite a busy concert life, her last ten years have been focused primarily on teaching. She has been on the piano faculty at SUNY Stony Brook for nine years, and was previously at Lawrence University. She has spent a year teaching at, respectively, both Ithaca College and the Peabody Conservatory. Since 2000, she has also been Director of Chamber Music at Stony Brook. Christina Dahl has spent summers at the Aspen Music Festival, and participated in winter chamber music with faculty and alumni there. She has been a collaborating artist at the Ravinia Festival, and held fellowships at Tanglewood and the Banff Centre. For eight years she was on the faculty at the Eastern Music Festival, for the last three as chairman of the piano department.
She has twice been a cultural ambassador for the US State Department, once as a solo recitalist and once as the member of a violin/piano duo. Her solo tour included concerts in the capitol cities of Argentina, Columbia, Paraguay and Uruguay. The duo tour included eight countries in Africa, and was designed to promote Amercan music and culture through recitals and master classes, exploring traditions in American art music as well as serving as missions of goodwill and culture.
She has frequently appeared at Columbia University and NYU in premieres of new works for various ensembles, and has played with the Washington Square Chamber Players. She has performed at Carnegie Weill Hall, Merkin Hall, and the National Gallery in Washington DC. For 1998-2001 she was the pianist and co-founder of a non-profit chamber group, the Atelier Ensemble, in Jacksonville, Florida. Spring 2002 marked her first performance at the prestigious Gilmore International Piano Festival in a duo concert with Gil Kalish. In fall 2003, she presented a series of concerts at the Cleveland Institute, performing multiple sonatas of Paul Hindemith with members of the Cleveland Orchestra.
She is a frequent recitalist on university artist series, and has been featured several times on Performance Today. Other radio broadcasts include KUSC in Los Angeles, Wisconsin Public Radio, WQXR and WNYC in New York. She has bachelors and masters degrees from the Peabody Conservatory where she was a student of Ann Schein, and has done doctoral work at SUNY Stony Brook with Gilbert Kalish. In 2000, she moved with her husband to Ohio when he became a member of the Cleveland Orchestra.
