Syracuse native Chris Menter began playing violin at age 8 in her public school’s orchestra program. By high school she was a proud “orch dork” and chose to spend many free periods (and perhaps some math classes) practicing alone on stage in the auditorium. She holds a Bachelor of Music degree from Ithaca College and a Master of Music degree from the University of Colorado-Boulder. Chris currently performs with the Opera Colorado and Colorado Ballet orchestras and 5280 String Quartet. Previous principal positions include Fort Collins Symphony, Greeley Philharmonic, Cheyenne Symphony, Boulder Chamber Orchestra, and Pro Musica Colorado. Chris has a second career as a Realtor with Corcoran Perry & Co. and loves to help her clients “Live in Harmony” (that’s the name of her LLC- cute, right?). Although she has resided in the Denver-Boulder area since 2003, Chris still experiences “wait, I live in Colorado?!” moments thanks to the natural beauty of our state. She enjoys hiking and wishes she could spend more time exploring the mountains.
