He previously served as Principal Trumpet of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO) for 11 seasons, and he has enjoyed a distinctive career of over 20 years in many of America's finest orchestras. That is what I’ve played here, and I think it gives a nice approximation of a posthorn’s dreamy resonance. Martin has served as Principal Trumpet of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Associate Principal Trumpet of The Philadelphia Orchestra, a post he won at age 22.

Praised as "brilliant…impeccable" by the New York Times and a musician of "effortless understated virtuosity" by The Chicago Tribune, Martin made his New York Philharmonic solo debut in October 2016, performing Ligeti's "Mysteries of the Macabre," led by then Music Director Alan Gilbert.

Martin has appeared as soloist multiple times nationally and internationally with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Music Director Riccardo Muti.

Christopher Rouse’s Heimdall’s Trumpet, John Mackey’s Antique Violences, and Julie Giroux’s Taboo were composed for Mr. Martin.  Christopher Martin’s discography includes a solo trumpet performance in  John Williams’s score to Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln (2012). 2019 saw the release of Antique Violences with Jerry Junkin conducting the Dallas Winds.  Mr.

Martin serves on the faculty of The Juilliard School. The series uses music and sounds from around the world, puppetry, animation and Claymation to entertain kids.
