"Romanticism is alive and well with the music of Chris Healey. As is the art of crafting a melody. A genuinely collaborative artist, Chris was a pleasure to work with and remains a true champion of the saxophone!"
- Cameron Millar
Saxophonist, BRON Saxophone Quartet
"We commissioned Christopher to write a new piece for our 2015 tour of regional Queensland... 'Renewing Rain' is a beautiful piece that evoked the contrasting tenderness and harshness of the landscape, the charm of the town... Christopher captured that brief beautifully."
- Brendan Joyce
Artistic Director, Camerata
"Chris' music immediately stood out to us for its distinct compositional voice and craft. There is the perfect mix of intelligence and humanity in his writing and what's more, he's a great colleague in the rehearsal room."
- Zoe Knighton
Cellist & Founding Member, Flinders Quartet
