Christina Vantzou is a composer, artist and videomaker based in Brussels. With a background in visual art, Vantzou ventured into music first as a video artist / animator / keyboardist as half of The Dead Texan.  Later she joined Sparklehorse on a European tour, (2007) and Christina credits the introduction to Mark Linkous as a catalyst for creating her first full length album of minimal ambient post-classical music.  Christina has released three albums on Kranky records.  Her work as a composer and orchestral arranger is characterized by lush layers of classical instruments, synths, vocal samples and somnambulant melodies.  As a visual artist, Vantzou works in high-speed to create slow moving visual accompaniment to her music.

In Semibreve, Christina Vantzou will perform a special set with Ensemble Harawi, a local contemporary music ensemble.

Ensemble Harawi:
António Ferreira - Cello
Carina Rocha - Viola
Mafalda Pires - Violin
Eleonor Picas - Harp
