Hello! I am a concert cellist and professor based in New York City. I am on the faculty of the Longy School of Music at Bard College and Montclair State University. I am accepting a limited number of advanced cello students.
I approach my practice and teaching with a positive energy, tuned into issues that need to be addressed and aware of the time needed to building a foundation, but assuring that our process is relevant to the student’s goals. I am always aware of what brings the student to the cello, and make sure that our work will continue feeding that curiosity and love for music.
Available for online lessons, and lessons at my residence.
Below is my teaching experience, and a performance bio. I hope to hear from you!

CHRISTINE LAMPREA is a dynamic artist with a growing reputation as a firebrand cellist with a “commitment to the highest standards” (Palm Beach Daily News). Recent performances include the Schumann concerto at Carnegie Hall’s Stern Auditorium, the premiere of a concerto written for her by Jeffrey Mumford, as well as a last minute replacement for Lynn Harrell with Symphony Silicon Valley. As a recitalist, Christine recently performed premieres of her own arrangements of Colombian music for Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor and the Colombian Ambassador to the United States. Other credits include Illinois’ Krannert Center for the Performing Arts, Florida’s Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Pepperdine University, and the Washington Performing Arts Society. Ms. Lamprea began her concert career in 2013 upon winning Astral Artists’ National Auditions, the Sphinx Competition, and the Schadt National String Competition. She has since performed with orchestras such as the Detroit Symphony, Houston Symphony, and the San Antonio Symphony. In 2018, she received the Sphinx Medal of Excellence for her contributions to the field as an artist of color.
