Chris Lynch
2025-03-14 16:00 - 18:00
‘It is not what you play, but how you play it’ is a familiar aphorism in music. We rarely experience someone who embodies both the virtuosity and the primordial force of musical expression. Chris Lynch is one of those musicians. Multi-instrumentalist, film composer, arranger, producer, and engineer are just a handful of titles you could pin on Lynch, though he is foremost a violinist. The violin has been the centerpiece of Chris’ musical story arc since moving to Santa Cruz from Minnesota in the early 2000s. He began scoring films like Code and Response (Austin Peck), touring with Marty O’Reilly, The Brothers Comatose, and The Shook Twins. He is now releasing his debut solo album, ‘ Migrations’ on Sonderhouse Records.
