Christina Singer flautist with the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra since 1991, began her career as first flute at the AaltoTheatre in Essen, subsequently joining the Rheinland-Pfalz State Philharmonic Orchestra. She studied with K. Schochow and R. Dohn at the Stuttgart Conservatory, graduating in 1992 with top honours, and also also took masterclasses with Robert Dick, András Adorján, Aurèle Nicolet und Peter Lukas Graf.

The release in 1997 of her much-praised recording of Charles Koechlin’s Chants de Nectaire for solo flute (Bayer Records 100 106) led to an invitation to Paris to participate in a TV programme about the composer. Christina Singer was a lecturer at the Saarbrücken University of Music.
