Her musical experiences were many and varied and by the start of her second and final year at Chetham’s, Katharine became a member of the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain. After leaving Chetham’s with four music college offers and a Diploma in performance with distinction, Katharine went on to study at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester. She finished her postgraduate course in July 2013 and studied with Gareth Small and Rhys Owen from the Hallé and Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.

Katharine regularly works as a freelancer with orchestras such as the ‘Opera North’, ‘BBC Philharmonic’, ‘Royal Liverpool Philharmonic’ ‘Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra’, Manchester Camerata and the ‘Hallé Orchestra’. As well as Orchestral playing, Katharine has performed with pop groups including Adele, The Ting Tings and recently featured on the new Elbow Album. As a soloist, she has performed with the Dorset Chamber Orchestra, Crowthorne Symphony Orchestra and Manchester Beethoven Player’s. Katharine was a finalist in the RNCM Concerto Competition in 2012 and recently performed a world premier with the Dorset County Orchestra.
