About Christopher

 

I was born and raised in Indianapolis. I am a proud Hoosier through and through! My piano training began at a very young age — 3 years old. The first week I was enthralled with the piano. The second week I cried just looking at it. And so began the long process of learning how to play. It wasn’t for another 10 years until I actually started to love playing the piano. At the age of 13, I began studying under Russian piano virtuoso, Tamara Orlovsky. If you’ve ever attended one of my concerts, you probably remember me mentioning how she opened my eyes to the wondrous world of music. Ever since then, I’ve genuinely loved playing the piano.

 

Chris-Dellen

I am grateful to God for blessing me with the gift of music. I am a strong believer that when God grants us a talent we are to share it with others. That is why for the past 10 years I’ve been involved in music ministry. I thoroughly enjoy giving concerts and sharing my God-given music.

 

In 2006 (on our birthdays–yes we have the same birthday!), I married my beautiful and talented wife, Jessica. I am fortunate she shares the same passion for music that I do. We now travel on a monthly basis to spread God’s good news through music with those in the USA and beyond. If we haven’t already had the privilege, we hope to meet you soon. God bless!
