Christian Blaha | Composer
“When I hear music, I fear no danger. I am invulnerable. I see no foe. I am related to the earliest of times, and to the latest.” Henry David Thoreau
Christian Blaha is a versatile, non-conformist voice in contemporary music. Critical historical awareness, humanistic involvement in present-day society and an unyielding faith in the intrinsic, communicative powers of art are strong aids to his endeavour to reconcile the seemingly irreconcilable in his eclectic, non-exclusive instrumental and vocal oeuvre.
Blaha is eager making his experience and talent available co-creating multidisciplinairy artwork, aswell as inspiring a future generation. Without doubt, his personal philosophy could be best summarized in: Making our world better with Music.
