Christine Aufderhaar

Christine Aufderhaar graduated from the 'Conservatory Lugano' in classical piano performance (piano class of Nora Doallo, composition class of Paul Glass). She also attended the Berklee College of Music and graduated in film scoring and classical composition within two years instead of the usual five years, receiving several scholarships and the Richard Levy Award. In 2002 she was a SCL intern and in 2006 a participant of the ASCAP Film Scoring Workshop, which inspired her to leave her position as Associate Professor at the Film University in Babelsberg and to start working exclusively as a freelance composer. Christine wrote the score to many award-winning films and her choir music is being performed regularly. She was honored with several Culture Awards and was named by the 'Federation of Film & Audiovisual Composers of Europe' as 'European Composer 2008 for Switzerland'. She also received a nomination for the 'Gema Music Author's Award' and was numerous times a jury member of Film Music Awards in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Nordic Countries. Christine was a board member of the 'German Film Academy' and is a current board member of the 'German Film Composers Union'. She is based in Berlin, Germany, and Los Angeles (CA).

Aufderhaar is fluent in German, English, Italian and French.
