Born in Germany, Marie-Christine studied at the Conservatoire in Cologne and won numerous prizes in international flute competitions. After graduation she attained a place at the distinguished Karajan Academy and subsequently played with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra for two years. Highlights included a tour of the US under the baton of Sir Simon Rattle.
Chamber music has always played an important part in Marie-Christine’s life. In June 2014 she was invited to play at Lars Vogt’s festival “Spannungen" in Heimbach, Germany. The live recording of Mahler 4 in Erwin Stein’s chamber music version won the Mahler Record Prize 2015. Other recordings include Weinberg's 1st flute concerto for Deutsche Grammophon under the baton of Mirga Gražynitė-Tyla, which was released in 2022.
Marie-Christine teaches at Royal Birmingham Conservatoire and gives masterclasses in the UK and internationally. She plays a 14k Brannen-Cooper rose gold flute with a Brannen/Lafin headjoint that was handmade for her in Boston, MA in 2013.
