Katherine was born into a very musical family in the town of Murwillumbah in Northern NSW. After beginning cello studies at age 14 she moved to Brisbane to complete a Bachelor of Music, studying with Markus and Mei-Lee Stocker. Since then, she has developed an interesting and fulfilling freelance career playing variously in Camerata, the Queensland Symphony Orchestra, Kurilpa String Quartet, Musica Viva In Schools, playing as a soloist, playing as a guest in various bands, recording sessions, summer veranda jam sessions, appearing at folk and classical festivals around Australia, and most recently has been perfecting the art of playing Baa, Baa, Black Sheep on the guitar, accompanied by her two-year-old daughter on the descant recorder.

Camerata acknowledges the traditional custodians and First Peoples of the places where we work, create, and perform. We acknowledge that First Peoples are the first artists, storytellers, performers, musicians, and creatives of these lands. We pay our deep respects to Elders past and present, and acknowledge their invaluable ongoing contribution to Australia’s cultural landscape.
