About Christopher G Keene

Christopher G. Keene, tenor, of Auburn, Maine, is a passionate and fresh young conductor new to the Boston music scene.  Christopher is currently directing the Dover-Sherborn High School Choral and Musical Theater program, teaching voice through Newton Community Education, singing with the Boston Choral Ensemble, and teaching private voice, conducting, and piano throughout the greater Boston area.

As the first undergraduate to complete the full Kodaly Certification program at the New England Conservatory in 2010, Christopher honed his passion for music literacy and voice-based pedagogy. His achievements at the University of Maine are numerous and include serving as president of the student chapter of ACDA, conductor of the Collegiate Chamber Choir, assistant conductor of the Collegiate Chorale, University orchestra, and professional a capella choir Euphony, as well as Chorusmaster of the Opera Workshop. In his senior year, seeing a need for undergraduates to have experience conducting/rehearsing a live ensemble, Christopher founded the Lab Choir: a group comprised of undergraduate conductors who each take turns rehearsing/conducting a piece of their own with the choir.

Christopher founded 3 community choirs, directed a church choir, and taught both middle and high school choruses in Maine before moving to Boston in 2011.  He has taught private voice for the last 7 years, building a 20+ member studio of students from ages 4-84.  Beyond music, Christopher has a deep interest in academia and tutors math, while continuing to nurture passions for philosophy, psychology, massage therapy, mathematics and physics.
