Christina Pluhar
Born in Graz, Christina Pluhar graduated in lute with Toyohiko Sato from the Royal Conservatory in Den Haag. Subsequently, she studied at Schola Cantorum Basiliensis with Hopkinson Smith and at the Scuola Civica di Milano with Mara Galassi.
In 1992 she moved to Paris and performs with groups such as La Fenice, Concerto Soave, Les Musiciens du Louvre, Ricercar, La Grande Ecurie et la Chambre du Roy and Concerto K�ln.
Since 1993, Christina has been teaching baroque harp at Den Haag and giving masterclasses at Graz University. Her repertoire includes solo and continuo works from the 16th to 18th centuries for renaissance lute, baroque guitar, archlute, theorbo and baroque harp.
She founded L�Arpeggiata in 2000, whose members are some of today�s finest European soloists. The group�s aim is to revive unknown repertoire, with a focus on French, Italian and Neapolitan music from the early 17th century. The ensemble has made a series of CDs for the Alpha label.
