Christian Garrick is an improvising violinist, a composer and a bandleader. He is active on the international concert circuit and on the London studio session scene. He is a professor of jazz and non-classical violin at three of London’s major music conservatoires.
Christian was born in 1971 and began violin aged five. He grew up in a 4-storey town house in leafy Hertfordshire, England, with his mother and father, two brothers, four pianos and a harpsichord . In a musical maelstrom of a household his father, Michael Garrick MBE, played jazz piano, composing music all day and night-long. Meanwhile, in the next room, his mother, Susan Robinson, taught piano and clarinet peripatetically. One day would involve an encounter with the likes of Jaco Pastorius, Spike Milligan, Nigel Kennedy or even Petula Clarke and the next, perhaps a trip to the Royal Festival Hall, where mum would be singing with the London Philharmonic Choir. There, a youthful Christian would bump into the likes of Olivier Messiaen, Itzhak Perlman, Klaus Tennstedt or Zubin Mheta.
