This past year, Kate received honorable mention in the finals of the Vanderbilt University Concerto Competition, performing Paul Hindemith’s Viola Concerto “Der Schwanendreher.” She has also recently performed as a violist and violinist in masterclasses for Edgar Meyer and Marcin Arendt, respectively. Additionally, she is a substitute violist for the Lexington Philharmonic and the Annapolis Symphony.

Under the instruction of Carolyn Huebl (violin) and Christina McGann (viola), Kate completed her Bachelor of Music degree in violin performance, with a minor in viola performance, at the Blair School of Music at Vanderbilt University in May of 2024.
