A Mission 0f Music From Pearl River to All Over The World
A story of Chris Murphy, who chose a life of creating and performing violin music in all its many manifestations and sharing that love.

When Chris graduated from the prestigious schools of Simon Rock of Bard College and New England Conservative of Music in Boston and began his life's journey, one of the first places he performed was at the historic Turning Point in his home town. It is home of great music, created in 1976, and hosted hundreds of musicians of every genre, some very famous.
From Boston, Chris moved to the State of Washington and finally settled in California.
Finding his music home, he has produced 500 works, 16 or more solo albums and 2o collaborative albums. From there, Chris has toured America including Hawaii and soon most of Europe. He has performed in Belgium, England, Italy, the Netherlands, but the one that fascinated me was Dubai. It is a city in the United Arab Emirates nation in Asia. With a few of his fellow performers who are great Irish musicians as well went to Dubai to celebrate St. Patrick's Day for one of America's military station.
