Christine Aufderhaar, Composer
(born in Basel, Switzerland)
Biography
Christine Aufderhaar graduated from the “Conservatory Lugano” in classical piano performance (piano class of Nora Doallo,
composition class of Paul Glass). Upon completion, she attended the Berklee College of Music and graduated in Film Scoring and
Classical Composition in two years instead of the usual five years, receiving “summa cum laude”.
Shortly there after, she was one of the four composers chosen by the “Society of Composers and Lyricists” to participate in the
internationally renowned “Mentorship Program”, which opened up opportunities working in Los Angeles with leading composers
such as Alf Clausen (THE SIMPSONS), Jay Chattaway (STAR TREK) and Steve Bramson (“J.A.G.”). Apart from having
frequented studios like Warner Brothers, Fox and Capitol, Christine was privileged to work with the composer Lawrence Shragge.
Christine Aufderhaar was honored with the “Richard Levy Award” (Berklee College of Music) and numerous scholarships
(Switzerland and USA). Her compositions have been performed in the USA as well as in Europe.
In 2006 Christine Aufderhaar was one of 12 composers selected to participate in the annual “ASCAP Film Scoring Workshop”,
where she conducted her composition in a recording session at the Newman Scoring Stage of Fox Studios.
Christine Aufderhaar currently lives in Berlin, where she writes and produces music for film and television. From 2004 to 2008 she
was Associate Professor at the ‘Hochschule für Film und Fernsehen’ (HFF Konrad Wolff) in Babelsberg (Berlin) in the recently
created film scoring department.
Christine Aufderhaar is member of the German Film Academy.
