Adistinguished graduate of Carnegie Mellon University in classical voice with a focus on Italian opera, Christina Chirumbolo's journey across Europe showcases her passion for performance.

Founding the Accelerando

Performing Arts

Committed to making a lasting impact, Christina is thrilled to contribute her passion for music and education to artists all over the world

Pivotal Moment

After developing countless talents over the last 15 years, I strategically strayed from my deep rooted passion and purpose of healing the world with my music I actively yet subconsciously looked for every possible side street and distraction that I could find always busying myself with projects- bigger and bigger anything I could to stay comfortably uncomfortable living small and dimming my light out of fear and insecurities I made a decision this passed summer to step into the light and put myself out there…I recorded my first single from my up and coming album entitled “Scars that tell stories” and I filmed my first music video In Lisbon Portugal I knew in that moment that I was ready to let go of old narratives and embrace my destiny. This was the catalyst for me having the courage to vulnerably share my feeling and be the artist that I was born to be.. the song is called “ I welcome the rain “

Tell us about an organization that is near and dear to you...

Ventura music Festival- joining them this season to write and produce educational music programming- I am so grateful that despite schools all cutting music…this organization is here to save a day or 2

A woman who inspires you...

“My mother drives me to keep pushing forward Despite roadblocks and challenges…she raised me to just keep going…look back later but right just keep going “

Moving boldly in business often involves taking risks, stepping out of comfort zones, and embracing failures as learning opportunities Women entrepreneurs and executives have demonstrated remarkable resilience in the face of adversity, turning challenges into stepping stones for success. Sara Blakely, the founder of Spanx, encountered numerous rejections before revolutionizing the undergarment industry with her innovative product Her story underscores the importance of perseverance and self-belief in achieving entrepreneurial dreams. Similarly, Oprah Winfrey's journey from a tumultuous upbringing to becoming a media mogul exemplifies resilience, determination, and the ability to overcome obstacles

The narrative of women in business is evolving from one of overcoming challenges to one of boldness, resilience, and empowerment Women entrepreneurs, executives, and leaders are not only achieving remarkable success but are also reshaping industries, championing diversity, and inspiring future generations.

"Self-love isnot selfish;it's essential”

Promoting Mental Health and Well-Being:

Challenging Stigma and Discrimination: Body positivity is not just about lovingourownbodiesbut also about advocating for therightsanddignityofall bodies. It challenges the stigma and discrimination facedbyindividualsbased on their size, appearance, or physical abilities.

In realms of dawn where dreams take flight, There dwells a force, both gentle and bright Women, like stars in the midnight sky, Illuminate paths, never asking why With every step, they forge ahead, Through trials faced, and tears shed. Their spirits dance with fiery grace, In every corner, every place.

In the depths of sorrow, they find their song, Resilient hearts, forever strong Through whispered words and silent gaze, They weave a tapestry of endless praise Their laughter echoes through the breeze, Their courage felt in every seize. In fields of battle, they stand tall, Defying odds, they break the wall. In nurturing touch and gentle embrace, They heal wounds with boundless grace Their wisdom flows like a sacred stream, Guiding souls to fulfill their dream

Oh, women of valor, women divine, In your presence, the world does shine. With every breath, you paint the skies, A masterpiece of love that never dies.

In quiet moments, their wisdom shines, A beacon bright in uncertain times. With gentle words and guiding light, They lead the way through darkest night. So let us honor, let us celebrate, The women who shape our world's fate. For in their courage, we find our own, A legacy of seeds they've sown.

In the heart of lineage, a tapestry unfurls, Threads of womanhood, woven through the worlds. From grandmother's wisdom, weathered and wise, To mother's nurturing, beneath the endless skies

Each generation, a story to be told, In their eyes, legacies of strength and bold Their laughter dances, like leaves in the breeze, Their tears, like raindrops, whispering through trees Grandmother, with hands that cradle dreams, Weaving tales of resilience in moonlit streams Her spirit, a beacon, guiding through the night, A guiding star, forever burning bright

Mother, with arms that embrace and mend, Teaching lessons of love, from end to end Her warmth, a hearth, in the coldest of days, Her love, an anchor, in life's turbulent ways

Daughter, with eyes that sparkle with wonder, A bloom in the garden, lightning and thunder. She carries forth the flame, passed down with care, A torchbearer, through valleys of despair.

Together they stand, a generational embrace, Linked by blood, and love, and grace. Through trials and triumphs, they journey as one, A constellation of women, beneath the same sun

In their laughter, in their tears, in their song, Echoes the resilience, that forever belongs For in the generation of women in a family's embrace, Lies the strength of ages, in timeless grace
