Christine Sticher is both a Board Member and Principal Double Bass here at OAE!
Christine grew up in a small town with a vivid music scene where she was very active as a guitar and trombone player. It wasn’t until she was 16 that she took up the double bass but she knew immediately that it would be her main instrument.
She studied with inspiring teachers in Mannheim, Salzburg, Amsterdam and The Hague and went on to make a name for herself as a continuo player. Christine now enjoys a diverse career as both a continuo and a stylish player for later repertoire performed on period instruments.
When Christine is not performing, she supervises Café Botanico in Berlin, a restaurant with a permaculture garden in the heart of Neukölln.
