Christoph
The pianist and singer Christoph Maletzko started his pianistic training at the age of eight, which he deepened through special support in the context of a music school education and supplemented with the subject of singing. His enthusiasm for singing led him from his home country of Poland to Cologne to the Musikhochschule, where he has been studying singing since 2015 and expanded it in 2018 with a year abroad in Italy. There he was trained in bel canto at the National Conservatorio di Musica Santa Cecilia (Rome). Concert activities have already taken him to many European countries in addition to Germany and Italy, including France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Poland and Ukraine, as well as to the Cologne Opera and the Dortmund Theater as a chorister. In addition to his master's degree, he is expanding his vocal training with Noelle Turner in musical singing and composes his own pieces. He has been carrying out his passion for teaching since 2019 and has since been passing on his knowledge in the subject of piano and singing (classical, musical and pop).
