About Me


Kate has been playing music since the age of 5. She began with classical piano. She was also an active member of musical theater since the age of 6. Around the age of 12 Kate put piano on the back burner in pursuit of what would become her love, violin. She could only pick one to major in at La Guardia High School of the Arts, after passing her auditions in both voice and violin. The day had finally come to make a choice. Violin became her main focus from that point on. Kate has been playing violin for 12 years. She has played such venues as Snug Harbor Veterans Hall, The College Of Staten Island, Brooklyn Conservatory, Epcott Center, CAMI Hall andLincoln Center Alice Tully Hall to list a few. After high school Kate got an electric violin and decided to expand her versatility and began playing jazz, folk, rock, hip hop and basically any genre that she could get her hands on, especially being a lover of improv. She has also preformed at venues all over Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, New Jersey and Pennsylvania for many various nonclassical music projects. At some point along the way Kate decided to pick up many other instruments. She incorporated viola and cello into her talents and has been playing both for a few years now. She has done many recordings for various artists in the NYC area on all three of her orchestral stringed instruments. Recently Kate has decided to expand even further and start writing her own songs on piano and guitar. This site is basically devoted to any music that she has either played on or wrote and preformed herself on any of the many instruments she plays. Enjoy :)
