Newlywed Christine Cornell (she's still on cloud nine!) is making waves in the New York performing arts scene. This dynamic actor and musician isn't just celebrating her recent nuptials; she's also co-leading the acclaimed Brooklyn Harmonics Vocal Program with her long-time friend and Broadway maestro, Jeffrey Klitz.
Last summer, she wowed audiences as a guest artist for Sound Symphony in Long Island. She brought her stunning vocals to Samuel Barber's "Knoxville: Summer of 1915" (a major soprano bucket list item!), and, on separate occasions, charmed audiences with selections from "My Fair Lady," "Pirates of Penzance," and Gershwin classics, all under the baton of the esteemed conductor, Dorothy Savitch.
Christine's voice has also taken her to many stages beyond New York. Last February, she was a quarter-finalist in the American Traditions Vocal Competition in Savannah, Georgia. Her diverse projects include being a featured artist on Erik Carlson's "Slowly Expanding Milton Babbitt" album (Three Theatrical Songs), helping the von Trapp family escape Austria as Sister Margaretta in the Virginia Opera/Virginia Arts Festival co-production of "The Sound of Music" (conducted by the incredible Rob Fisher), and embarking on a mesmerizing multi-city concert series in Italy with Ghostlight Chorus (music director Dr. Evelyn Troester DeGraf), which included a world premiere by composer/music director Mary Gatchall.
Christine is a regularly featured vocalist with the Justin Rothberg band. They just played Pete’s Candy Store on January 20th.
Christine has graced renowned venues like 54 Below, the Quick Center, and Renberg in Joanna Gleason sold out one woman show "Out of the Eclipse." Her stage credits also include "The Apple and Other Slip-Ups" (ARC Stages), "The Most Happy Fella" (Goodspeed), "The Sound of Music" (Paper Mill Playhouse, Sacred Heart), "Master Class" (Gulf Shore Playhouse), "A Nantucket Christmas Carol" (White Heron Theater), and "Four Saints in Three Acts" with Trinity Choir (Brooklyn Academy of Music). She even made her film music debut in Alex Weston's original score for "What Breaks the Ice" (released October 2021).
Christine is a proud member of Actors Equity Association (thank you Goodspeed!) and is on the roster at Avalon Artists Group. A graduate of the prestigious Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, this rising star continues to shine brightly.
