About

I am Christopher Gleeson, a violinist, music teacher and composer based in Alstonville, New South Wales. I have performed with numerous orchestras, opera companies and theatre ensembles across Australia, and I teach violin to students of all ages with a focus on musical expression and ensemble collaboration.

I also compose and arrange for theatre and concert works, including a Violin Concerto recorded for 2MBS-FM and various chamber ensembles. I love creating new music, guiding students, and sharing live performance with communities.
