«What a wonderful world! Good to
be here!» Christina Zurbrügg
Raised in the Berner Oberland, Christina Zurbrügg came
to Vienna after a long stay in South America and studied acting
and classical singing. She became well known through her music
theatre productions about the Spanish poet Federico García
Lorca. Zurbrügg studied and played folk music, shot the
documentary film “Orvuse on Oanwe” about Vienna’s
last doodlers (doodling is a Viennese version of alpine yodelling)
and and in doing so rediscovered her own roots.
Next was her solo program “Christl’s Wonderworld”.

album “now” was reviewed as a first class work between

her CD “best of yodel 99-09“.
