Flutist Christina Jennings is praised for virtuoso technique,  rich tone, and command of a wide range of literature featuring works from Bach to Zwilich. The Houston Press declared: "Jennings has got what it takes: a distinctive voice, charisma, and a pyrotechnic style that works magic on the ears."

Active as a concerto soloist, Ms Jennings has appeared with over fifty orchestras including the Utah and Houston Symphonies, Orchestra 2001, Park Avenue Chamber Orchestra, Flint Symphony, Spokane Symphony, Orchestra de Camera (Mexico), and Pro Musica (UK). She has worked with such diverse artists such as Jethro Tull, David Parsons Dance Company, and members of the Pilobolus. In recent seasons she has presented masterclasses at The Juilliard School, Rice University, University of Wisconsin Madison, the Peabody Institute, the Longy School of Music, and the flute associations of Seattle, Utah, and Texas. She received her Bachelor and Master's degrees at The Juilliard School, and her principal teachers include Carol Wincenc, Leone Buyse, George Pope, and Jeanne Baxtresser.
