Christopher Reutinger (born on September 10, 1946 in San Diego, California) is an American composer.

Reutinger began to study music composition at the age of seven with his mother Joan, a concert pianist. At the age of nine, he began to study violin with noted violin pedagogue Nick Stamon. The range of his musical ability was realized when the San Diego Symphony^[1] performed his original composition: "18th Century". The following year, in 1958, the San Diego Symphony orchestra debuted his original composition "Gigue".

Reutinger won a full scholarship to San Francisco State University to be part of the school's flagship music ensemble: The Morrison Quartet. The quartet appeared on San Francisco local CBS every Sunday in the show: "Molnar on Music" hosted by the renowned violist Molnar. He also studied with Naoum Blinder pupil and San Francisco Symphony Concertmaster: Frank Houser.

As a graduate student at the Thornton School of Music at the University of Southern California, Reutinger studied violin with renowned violinist Alice Schoenfeld. He was also asked by conductor Daniel Lewis to be part of the elite USC String Orchestra.

Winning an audition to be a first violinist with the Honolulu Symphony in 1972, he spent one season in Hawaii before returning to Los Angeles to begin a thirty-two-year career in live performances and studio recordings. To date, he has contributed to over 550 motion pictures scores and 450 record/CDs. He has recorded and performed with Elton John, Barry Manilow, Henry Mancini, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Roy Orbison, Ray Charles, Diana Ross, Lionel Richie, Beck, Natalie Cole, Andrea Bocelli, Jewel and Michael Feinstein, to name a few. Reutinger was a founding member of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra conducted by John Mauceri. He has performed with numerous other symphonies.
