Growing up, Chris sang in her church’s youth choir, adult choir, and several small groups. Prior to moving to Montrose, she performed in a distinguished seminary choir for 12 years. Soon after becoming a Colorado resident in 2013, she was missing the discipline of people working together to create a beautiful finished choral product—one that they and others could enjoy. Then, a friend invited her to audition for the VSA Chorus. A member since 2016, she has enjoyed the experience immensely and is a fixture in the chorus' alto 2 section.

Married in 1976, Chris and husband Robert (rector of the Montrose All Saints Anglican Church) along with their daughter have lived in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Illinois. Robert likes to say, “We’d never lived west of the Mississippi, and now we live west of the Rockies.”

“It takes a lot of work to produce our concerts, but what good and worthwhile thing doesn’t? I hope audiences enjoy listening to the concerts as much as we enjoy singing them.”
