He went on to study Music at King's College, Cambridge where he was also a member of King's College Choir. As a soloist, Christoph has performed in opera productions, concerts and recitals all over the world, has recorded more than 60 CD's and DVD's and worked with some of the leading conductors of his time. In 2015 he decided to shift his focus to teaching Music.

An appointment from 2015 to 2017 at the International School Dhaka in Bangladesh allowed him to combine teaching with his interest to explore other cultures.

He started IB Music at UWC CSC, established Choir and Orchestra, and initiated regular concerts at the College.
