Katharine has recently graduated from a degree in Mathematics at Queens’ College, Cambridge, and is staying in the city to undertake teacher training. In her spare time she has always loved getting involved in music. Having played piano and cello at school, she was lucky enough to become a member of Queens’ College Chapel Choir which led to some wonderful opportunities, such as conducting the college choir MagSoc Chorus in Michaelmas term 2023. Katharine also enjoys the production side of orchestral and choral concerts, especially those which involve collaboration with another art form. She ran the ballroom dancing show Dancing Queens’ at her college in November 2023, as well as assisting on Britten Sinfonia’s schools tour of Once Upon a Tune (a collaboration with artist James Mayhew) and working at The Music Summer School and Festival in Norfolk in 2024.

Katharine’s favourite aspect of these opportunities has been seeing the enjoyment and laughter of the performers and audience, particularly children who are discovering their own love of music and react in their own unique and sometimes surprising ways. She would love to create a fun and friendly atmosphere and help everyone to get involved in music, and KJV is the perfect way to try to do this!
