Chirhiro Gordon was trained as a concert pianist at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna with Jürg von Vintschger. In addition, she was particularly influenced by her work under KS Walter Berry, which inspired her to continue working with singers. Her interest and passion further led her to study Lied and Oratorio with Carolyn Hague, Opera Correpetition with Kristin Okerlund at the Musik und Kunst Privatuniversität Wien and Vocal Accompaniment with Julius Drake at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz. She completed all studies with distinction.

She works with singers such as Wolfgang Holzmair, KS. Birgid Steinberger, Werner Güra, Nina Tarandek, Elena Copons, Jörg Schneider, Katharina Bradic and Mathias Hausmann and engaged as a study leader and pianist in various opera and operetta productions and festivals.
