Cristina Ballatori has performed across the United States, Europe, England, and Latin America as a recitalist, soloist, chamber and orchestral musician. Recent performance highlights include featured guest artist appearances at the Festivales Internacionales de Flautistas in Lima, Peru, and World Flutes Festival in Mendoza, Argentina, concerts in venues such as the Atelier Concert Series in Paris, France, and artist residencies in Spain, Costa Rica, and Mexico. An active chamber musician, Ballatori is a member of the Semplice Duo with pianist Kevin Chance and the Whitewater Chamber Players. Described by critics as “delightful performers” whose “music making was effortless and sparkling,” the Semplice Duo was formed in 2000 with the goal of exposing a wide variety of audiences to the less frequently performed chamber music for flute and piano. Their debut album, Night Surrendering to the Dawn, will be released by Centaur Records in 2024-2025, and features works for flute and piano by 21st Century composers Valerie Coleman, Amanda Harberg, and Samuel Zyman, including two world-premiere recordings of works written for the duo by Christian Ellenwood. Ballatori regularly appears as a guest artist and has been a featured performer, clinician, and adjudicator at many festivals, universities, and conferences including those of the National Flute Association, Music Teachers National Association, Texas Music Educators Association, and Mid-South Flute Society among others. She is a Burkart Artist. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61732d5272663755f1352673/1c2cfdf4-9e89-4968-9578-02c78b88b1b9/CB+4.jpeg Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61732d5272663755f1352673/6c5c31fc-75f1-476d-8ef5-a117fe33174a/IMG_0760.jpeg Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61732d5272663755f1352673/9bbb6929-336e-4cea-8fb5-6df1fcadaa3f/9.jpg https://www.cristinaballatori.com/bio daily 0.75 2026-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61732d5272663755f1352673/42103a1b-6246-4307-a4c2-f690a5fd5e76/7.jpg Bio - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.cristinaballatori.com/media daily 0.75 2021-11-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61732d5272663755f1352673/23d7a40d-948e-4964-ac4e-51031ee3060d/free-youtube-logo-icon-2431-thumb.png Media - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.cristinaballatori.com/contact daily 0.75 2022-09-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61732d5272663755f1352673/34a84361-71b5-4dcf-a0be-5589f330f908/CB+1.jpeg Contact - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.cristinaballatori.com/2026-2027 daily 0.75 2026-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61732d5272663755f1352673/20cc0857-2bc0-4690-a9dd-ea78652213c4/3.jpg 2026-2027 - UPCOMING January 26, 2026, 7:30pm (CANCELLED DUE TO WEATHER) UArk Faculty Recital with Dr. Kevin Chance, Stella Boyle Recital Hall, Fayetteville, Arkansas January 27, 2026 (CANCELLED DUE TO WEATHER) University of Oklahoma Guest Artist Recital & Master Class with Dr. Kevin Chance, piano January 31-February 2, 2026 2nd Annual Arkansas Flute Festival at the University of Arkansas with Jasmine Choi, Recital February 23, 2026, 7:30pm UArk Woodwind Faculty Recital, Stella Boyle Recital Hall, Fayetteville, Arkansas February 25, 2026 Recital with Dr. Diane Boyd-Schultz, SEC Grant Exchange, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, Arkansas April 8, 2026 University of Alabama, Guest Artist Recital & Master Class, SEC Grant Exchange, Tuscaloosa, Alabama April 10-11, 2026 Mid-South Flute Festival, Tuscaloosa, Alabama April 20, 2026, 7:30pm Lyrique Quintet Recital, Stella Boyle Recital Hall, Fayetteville, Arkansas May 6, 2026, 6:00pm Artosphere Festival: Ozark Chamber Music at Hunt Chapel, Rogers, Arkansas John Rutter’s Suite Antique for Flute & Strings, Featured Soloist https://waltonartscenter.org/artosphere/ozark-chamber-music-at-hunt-chapel/ May 16-17, 2026 Texas Flute Festival, Dallas, Texas, Recital with Dr. Miroslava Panayotova featuring works by Valerie Coleman, Lawren Brianna Ware, and Herman Beeftink.
