Christian Levens is currently attending The University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) as a Graduate Teaching Assistant to complete a Masters Degree in Jazz Performance. Though drum set is his primary instrument, he is fluent in all areas of percussion including orchestral drumming and marching band. At UTA, Levens performed with the drum line, numerous small jazz combos (including the Burkholder Combo, the premier small group at the University), as well as the top big band, the Jazz Orchestra. This past summer, Levens participated in a 4 month jazz residency at the House of Blues and Jazz in Shanghai, China. Directly after, Levens studied a full semester abroad at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, Sweden.
