Crissa Constantine

My parents married in Montreal in 1950 and moved to Vancouver so that Dad could start his new job as an assistant professor of medicine at UBC. I was born in 1951and went to Greece in 1955 to stay with my grandmother in Athens for a few years. I was imbued with a deep appreciation of the ancient Greek civilization and suffered from culture shock when I returned to Vancouver.

Through the Fire

“This is a wonderful pamphlet, one that I would not hesitate to commend to anyone facing the painful reality of ovarian cancer. Crissa has done a marvelous job of drawing upon her personal experience, in order to create a ‘healing-template’ that other women are likely to find deeply affirming and genuinely helpful. Absolutely superb.”

– Rev. Foster Freed, Knox United Church, Parksville, B.C.

Compositions

There is very little music I don't love, but my main channel of musical expression is classical. As much as I enjoy playing the piano music of the great composers, I prefer experimenting with my own sounds.

The stunning beauty of Vancouver Island has inspired me to compose piano pieces in the "contemporary classical" style.
