Christine Johnson enjoys a varied career in singing, and acting. Her brother accompanied her on guitar for her first performances in high school, which eventually led to a master’s degree in vocal performance from Washington University and an interest in the music of the Baroque and Renaissance. Christine's passion is collaboration - to that end, she is committed to the performance of chamber music, specifically baroque and renaissance songs and cantatas, and art songs of all periods. She has performed and studied early music in Washington State, Cambridge, Oberlin, and St. Louis – where she appears regularly with the baroque chamber ensembles the Kingsbury Ensemble and Collegium Vocale.
Roles include Angela in "World Hunger (film), Liza Elliott in Kurt Weill's "Lady in the Dark", Irene Molloy in "Hello Dolly!", and Helena in “The Mystery of Edwin Drood” with Overdue Theatre Company in St. Louis; Clorinda in Monteverdi's "Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda" with the Kingsbury Ensemble; and The Queen in Hildegard von Bingen's "Ordo Virtutum". Christine also played Faith in “the Limeybirds” and was a member of Project Improv-St. Louis. She serves as a soprano at the Church of St. Michael and St. George in St. Louis.
Favorite projects include her work with Overdue, her musical adventures in Germany, her work with Mary Sutherland, and Commedia dell’arte and baroque opera with the Kingsbury Ensemble. In the summer of 2008 Christine traveled to France to perform with this group. Christine has six recitals to her credit, most recently with pianist Peter Scholl in Siegen, Germany last May. While in Germany, she sang with the Bachchor Siegen and its Collegium Vocale. She will return to Germany this fall to present another recital and perform with the Bachchor.
She is also featured on a CD of composer and pianist Mary Sutherland's songs.
