    The young American musician Christopher Houlihan is widely acknowledged as one of the brightest stars in the new  generation of American organists, and was booked to perform from coast to coast during his debut season under professional representation.

    During his senior year of college he made his orchestral debut (with the Hartford Symphony Orchestra, sharing the soloist spotlight with violinist Joshua Bell) and recorded  his second commercial CD (his debut CD having been recorded after his sophomore year).

    He spent his junior year studying in France where he earned the “Prix de Perfectionnement” (equivalent to a university artists’s diploma in the US) from the French National Regional Conservatory in Versailles, performed widely, and served as assistant musician at the American Cathedral in Paris where he had the honor of performing for the then President and First Lady of the United States, Mr. And Mrs. George W. Bush.

    He is a graduate with honors from Trinity College in Connecticut where he studied with John Rose, his organ teacher from the age of twelve. Late in his freshman year a group of friends formed the “Houli Fans,” a club aimed mostly at gathering fellow students to attend Christopher’s organ recitals. When he performed with the Hartford Symphony during his senior year they chartered buses to take throngs of students to the orchestra hall where they rained down loud cheers from the balcony.

    Christopher did his graduate degree work at The Juilliard School in New York where he studied with the Grammy Award winning organist Paul Jacobs.

    During concert season 2010-2011 he was a featured performer at two regional conventions of the American Guild of Organists, made another European tour, and inaugurated the newly installed pipe organ at the Sondheim Performing Arts Center in Iowa.
