Chris Hazel


A resident of Lowell, Massachusetts, Christopher has studied and played percussion since his Jr. High days in the early 80’s.  He’s studied percussion with Jim Lattini, Jeff Fischer, and Nancy Smith.  With an early background in marching percussion and drum set work, he earned his BA in Music Theory at UNH in the mid 90’s and has since focused heavily on orchestral performance.  He has performed with many groups including the Bay Colony Brass, the Metro West Symphony Orchestra, the Seacoast Community Chamber Orchestra, the Dudley House Orchestra, the Brookline Symphony, the Lowell House Opera, and the Mercury Symphony, as well as numerous other engagements in musical theater and choral groups.  Aside from freelancing as widely as his schedule allows, he currently earns his living at a large engineering firm in Boston.
