What Christa Does
From Those Who Know Her
When Christa performs, it is like the angels themselves are visiting the Mass.
Rev. H. Todd Carter
Pastor, Holy Innocents Church · Neptune, New Jersey
“Christa Dalmazio makes everything she’s involved with beautiful. Whether she’s singing (opera, theater or liturgical music), performing (piano, organ or harp, viola, violin or cello), directing (small ensembles or choirs), or teaching, she brings a passion for excellence and execution that always elevates. She is an artist and person of the highest caliber.”
Msgr. Roger Landry
National Director, The Pontifical Mission Societies · Member, Vatican Dicastery for Evangelization
“Christa is not from this world. I’ve never seen someone with the drive, intensity, talent, and hunger that Christa has, and to see it channeled into our faith is remarkable. She took a duet of musicians and helped scale our organization into a major orchestra and choir of 60 Catholics and Christians, filling churches in NYC and essentially inventing a new market category for orchestras.”
Spencer McIntosh
Founder, Higher Word Orchestra
“When Christa performs, it is like the angels themselves are visiting the Mass. When she teaches, she’s like a wise nurturing mother who wants you to do your best. She does everything to the best of her ability and always for the greater glory of God.”
Rev. H. Todd Carter
Pastor, Holy Innocents Church · Neptune, New Jersey
“Christa's dedicated work in sacred music—including her work with Higher Word—is vitally important to the restoration of the Beautiful and the healing of our culture.”
Dr. Frank La Rocca
Composer-in-Residence, Benedict XVI Institute for Sacred Music and Divine Worship · Composer of the Mass of the Americas
“The joy Christa takes in her work is a delight, and it is so encouraging to know that she is putting her talents at the service of the Church’s worship of God.”
Fr. Jonah Teller, O.P.
Parochial Vicar · Church of St. Joseph, Greenwich Village, New York
“Christa's work in sacred music is a great gift to the Church and a clear expression of her love for Our Lord! God has used her to help thousands of people to pray through her music, and she is playing an integral role in the current renewal of sacred music in the Church.”
Peter Carter
Founder & Director, Catholic Sacred Music Project · Director of Sacred Music, Aquinas Institute of Princeton University · Co-Author (with Cardinal Robert Sarah), The Song of the Lamb
“Christa Dalmazio is such a talented and genuinely wonderful musician to work with! She served as soprano soloist for a performance of the Vivaldi Gloria with orchestra and community choir that I conducted, and her lovely voice made the performance so spectacular. Christa was also a brilliant collaborator on my 2025 EP Glorious Mystery, featured as the organ and harp accompanist on six Marian Gregorian and sacred chant pieces. She has such a strong, intuitive sense of traditional Catholic music that her input made the album the beautiful and spiritually inspiring work that it is. I cannot recommend her more highly!”
Dr. Carly York
The Catholic Cantor · Soprano & Conductor
