Thrilled to announce that the next performance of my new Turandot ending is happening at ‪The Dallas Opera! Featuring Anna Pirozzi as Turandot and Jorge Puerta as Calàf, and conducted by Emmanuel Villaume.

2K Games has just released this behind-the-scenes video of the making of the Civilization VII soundtrack, including my new theme "Live Gloriously"! www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCrs...

In the studio with producers Sean Patrick Flahaven and Timothy Hsia! We had a chance to catch up between takes at Abbey Road Studios back in June, during recording sessions for "Turandot: Christopher Tin Finale". Commissioned by Washington National Opera with a libretto by Susan Soon He Stanton.

We finally met! Bravo and congratulations on your two silver medals Yuma. And Carolina, it was wonderful to see you again. What a thrilling year it's been!

What a roller coaster ride that was. Congratulations Yuma, on your silver medal!

It all started with a commission from Washington National Opera! Terrific article in the Washington Post about Yuma Kagiyama's free skate music, and how it all started when Francesca Zambello asked Susan Soon He Stanton and me to write a new ending to Turandot. www.washingtonpost.com/sports/olymp...

I had a chance to sit down with Lori Nichol (choreographer) and Carolina Kostner (coach) after the recording sessions at Abbey Road, for a casual conversation about our collaboration on Yuma Kagiyama's free skate routine for the 2025-2026 season. Check out the full video! youtu.be/lB9yF2HdxHY

Ciao da Milano! First on the agenda: my pilgrimage to La Scala, legendary opera house where Turandot was first premiered 100 years ago. Considered seeing a performance, but didn't think my 7 year-old would be willing to sit through Götterdämmerung. 🤣

Because of the response from the figure skating community, I've decided to release Yuma's special figure skating edit of my completion of Turandot on streaming services.This is the music that he's skating to on Friday at the Winter Olympics in the Men's Singles Figure Skating Finals!

Writing a new completion of Puccini's "Turandot" was one of the most daunting and challenging things I've ever done. Note-for-note, I spent more time writing this piece than anything else I've written by far. youtube.com/shorts/WQQ8A...

Out now! "Turandot: Christopher Tin Finale", my completion of Giacomo Puccini's final unfinished opera 'Turandot'. Listen on all streaming platforms, and pre-order signed vinyl and CDs on my website.

My commission to complete 'Turandot' came from the most unusual source: my video game music. The Artistic Director of Washington National Opera, Francesca Zambello, was at home one day and heard some music coming from her teenage son's bedroom... youtube.com/shorts/HMWti...

What is the 'Turandot: Christopher Tin Finale'? 'Turandot' is Giacomo Puccini's final opera, but he died before he could figure out how to finish it. Over the last century, a handful of composers have been commissioned to try completing the opera. youtube.com/shorts/qUW0L...

A preview of Yuma Kagiyama's free skate for the Winter Olympic Games 2026 Milano-Cortina, set to a special version of my finale to Giacomo Puccini's unfinished opera 'Turandot', prepared especially for Yuma's competition. youtu.be/ZOoPdWi--gI?... #figureskating #Olympics #opera

Announcing my next record release! On February 6 I'll be releasing "Turandot: Christopher Tin Finale", the long awaited recording of my completion of Giacomo Puccini's great unfinished opera #Turandot, commissioned by ‪Washington National Opera.

You may have seen in the news recently that Washington National Opera has parted ways with the Kennedy Center and will be doing their future productions in different venues around DC. I hugely support this move, and applaud their leadership for acting boldly to preserve their artistic independence.

A modest appeal. People like my friend Robert go through a lot to find a match for life-saving kidney donations. Learn how you can help via the links in my bio. www.youtube.com/shorts/cGPjm...

Thanks for a great year!

My record label Decca Records US is having a Black Friday Sale, which means all of my music and merch is 30% off! Go here: shop.deccarecordsus.com/collections/...

At risk of sounding like an old hippie, I thought of my music as a vessel to convey the love that Rabindranath Tagore felt for his deity. And now it's up to the singers to pass along that love to the audience. So peace out, folks. ✌️☮️ 🎧https://christophertin.lnk.to/SongOfferings

Sometimes you're handed a beautiful poem and the music just writes itself. When Charles Anthony Silvestri sent me the text for 'Yeshua', the melody started writing itself the moment my fingers touched the keyboard. Read more about my composing process on my creative blog! Link in bio.

In case you missed it, I've started a special Creative Blog on my website to talk about the composing process around my works as they're released. When I have time, I'll also be going back to revisit the creative process of some of my older works too. Check it out! Link in bio.

“Song Offerings” & “Transfigurations” differ from my usual work — written for live performance with a small ensemble rather than orchestral backing or studio recording. Learn more on my creative blog (link in bio).

I really had a great time composing 'Song Offerings' for Kantorei... the collaboration was so loose and relaxed, I rediscovered a real youthful enthusiasm for making music that I hadn't felt in a while. Read all about the process on my creative blog (link in bio). #SongOfferings #DeccaGold #Kantorei

Went through a half dozen sharpies doing this... vinyl and CDs with signed art cards are now available from the Decca Records US store! 🌐Link in bio. #SongOfferings #ChristopherTin #ChoralMusic #RabindranathTagore #DeccaGold #Kantorei #PoetryInMusic #ChoralWorks #NewMusic #AlbumRelease

Look ma, I'm on the cover of Tidal's "Encore: New in Classical" playlist! Thanks Tidal for your support of my new album 'Song Offerings: Choral Music by Christopher Tin'. Out now! Link to the playlist in my bio.

✨Out today!✨ My album of choral works, 'Song Offerings', performed & recorded by Kantorei. Listen to "Yeshua" from the choral suite 'Transfigurations', about Christ's transformation. Lyrics by the foremost choral lyricist of our times Charles Anthony Silvestri. Listen at the link in my bio.

Study scores for both ‘Song Offerings’ and ‘Transfigurations’ are now available on my website! 📙 linktr.ee/ChristopherTin #SongOfferings #ChristopherTin #ChoralMusic #DeccaGold #ChoralWorks #NewMusic #studyscores

I've been doing more purely musical projects & taking on fewer film & game scores. Looking ahead there'll be a range of releases coming that are an expression of the newfound joy I've found in being a composer & artist. 'Song Offerings' is the 1st chapter. christophertin.lnk.to/SongOfferings

It was twenty years ago today... @civilization.2k.com IV was released with my song 'Baba Yetu' on the menu screen, and my life has not quite been the same ever since!

"That I want thee, only thee--let my heart repeat without end." Gitanjali is one of the most beautiful works I've ever read about devotional love for the divine. I imagined my job as the composer to channel that pure love in the most direct means possible. christophertin.lnk.to/SongOfferings

Signing day! And I had a little helper this time. ❤️ Signed merch for Song Offerings is available at the UMG store... link in my bio. And check out the new single 'Stream of Life' if you haven't heard it already! 🎧https://christophertin.lnk.to/SongOfferings #SongOfferings #DeccaGold #AlbumRelease

'Gitanjali' is a gorgeous book of poetry by Rabindranath Tagore. Check out this stunning verse: "The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures." 🎧https://christophertin.lnk.to/SongOfferings #SongOfferings #RabindranathTagore

Excited to share my new choral album, Song Offerings! Two major works performed by Denver’s Kantorei, produced by Soundmirror. This marks a new chapter of concert releases for me. Listen to the first single “Stream of Life”: christophertin.lnk.to/SongOfferings Recorded on Decca Gold.

Congrats to @phoenixchorale.bsky.social and @arizonapbs.bsky.social ! Their broadcast concert of 'The Lost Birds' was just nominated for an #Emmy. It's a gorgeous performance and recording, and it's available for listening at the link in my bio!

Chicago! I'm coming your way Oct. 11th. I'll be attending a performance of 'The Lost Birds' by The William Ferris Chorale and DePaul Ensemble 20+, part of the Ear Taxi Festival of new music. I'll also be doing a pre-concert talk with the Artistic Director of Ear Taxi, LaRob K. Rafael.

Super cool little gift from 2K Games and Firaxis - a music box with my #civ VII theme “Live Gloriously”. Unfortunately it’s not available to purchase… just a special little gift. Thanks 2K!

If you’re in LA this Saturday, come on by and say hi! Conducted by Steven Allen Fox and sung by Angel City Chorale.

@lacedrecords.com has published an interview about my close collaboration with the narrative team in my latest Civ theme ‘Live Gloriously’, and how it reflects the grittier direction of both the franchise’s latest installment, as well as the world we live in. www.lacedrecords.com/blogs/blog/h...

For my 49th birthday: a gift from my kiddo, a gift from my wife, and a gift from myself. 🤟 Rock on people of the universe, love you all!

Huge thanks to the listeners of @classicfm.com for voting me into the 2025 Hall of Fame. I'm so honored. ❤️

My theme to @civilization.2k.com VII "Live Gloriously" is now available for rent from my publishers @booseyandhawkes.bsky.social. To mark the occasion I recently did an interview with them about the creative process of composing the theme. Check out the interview here: www.boosey.com/cr/news/Chri...

Today is #worldsleepday and to celebrate, Decca Records US has commissioned an ambient remix of my 'Nocturne', recorded by pianist Wei Luo back in 2021. It's a super dreamy reimagining by Paul Corley. Check it out, and while you're at it, give a listen to my original as well!

Choral hang! Dyna and I had a great time hanging with fellow composer Ola Gjeilo and his wife, conductor Irene Messoloras. Hatched plans for our ‘Monsters of Choral Music’ Theme Cruise. (Just kidding! Unless there’s overwhelming demand and then… well, maybe…) #choir #choralmusic

She did it! Mao Shimada with the three-peat. First woman to win three World Juniors in a row, and she did it to my piece 'Mado Kara Mieru'. Bravo!!! You're incredible! (And thanks to The Olympics for the shoutout!) www.olympics.com/en/news/isu-...

PGA Tour 2K25 is out today! I'm very excited to once again return to this franchise a third time, and am super grateful to HB Studios and 2K Games for entrusting me with the music for this game. We're currently exploring a soundtrack release, so stay tuned! #PGATOUR2K25

These aren't my tattoos! They belong to Ivan Verite, who posted them on Reddit. He's a history buff, as well as a big fan of my music and Civ. And when he heard "Live Gloriously" with its lyrics taken from The Iliad, he had them tattooed, along with the Egyptian gods Thoth and Anubis. Badass!
