"Christian Ryan is a young violinist and composer of great promise with a great sense of gesture, rhythm, and—above all—an uncanny knack for balancing the familiar and the unexpected in his music.” -Rob Haskins (Associate Professor and Coordinator, Graduate Studies in Music at University of New Hampshire)
"Christian Ryan is one of the most innovative and exciting composers and all-round musicians to be emerging in our time. He is constantly on the search for new, exciting, and unique ideas and sounds - yet also has a firm foot-hold in tradition. He doubtlessly will become one of the most exciting kids on the block in the next generation of composers, and I would definitely keep my out for him.”
-Alex Prior (composer and conductor)
