Christopher Wilson studied the lute at the Royal College of Music in London with Diana Poulton.
Since leaving he has established himself as one of the leading lutentists in Great Britain, specializing in the performance of renaissance music. He has given many broadcasts on radio and television as a soloist and as an ensemble performer. His concert tours have taken him to most countries of Europe, Scandinavia, The Baltic States, Russia, Hong Kong, Japan and the USA. As well as performing with his own ensemble, Kithara, and many other leading early music groups, Christopher Wilson''s increasing interest in the lute song repertoire has led him to work with various song recitalists, most notable in recent years has been his work with Paul Agnew with whom he has recorded two volumes of lute songs of John Dowland, a collection of songs written to the love poetry of John Donne and Sir Philip Sidney ''O Sweet Woods, the Delight of Solitarienesse '' and a recording devoted to the seventeenth century composer Nicholas Lamer. He has appeared on over seventy recordings and as a soloist has recorded CD s of English, Spanish, French and Italian lute music.
