A native of Columbus, Ohio, Christian Howes was classically trained beginning at age five. He subsequently performed the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto with the Columbus Symphony Orchestra at sixteen. After placing in national classical competitions while still in his teens, Howes set out to build upon a strong classical foundation and distinguish himself in jazz, the art of the improvisers. His star has been ascending ever since. As a bandleader or a featured guest Howes has performed on such prestigious stages as the Newport, Toronto, Ottawa, and Tri-C jazz festivals. His club work has taken him to such world-renowned venues as Birdland, Iridium, the Knitting Factory, Blues Alley, and the Village Vanguard and thats just in the U.S. Christians tours have taken him throughout the Midwestern U.S., the Far East and across Europe, including a part-time residence in Spain, where he has collaborated with some of that countrys finest musicians. In 2002 Howes was featured in performance in the Spanish film Impulsos. This prolific violinist/composer maintains several working ensembles. Howes is also available to provide clinics and master classes for all ages.
