All proceeds from the recital are going towards Kathryn’s tuition fees for the Masters degree program in Vocal performance at L’Université de Montréal. Kathryn was accepted “on the spot” at her audition in March, and will be studying with Catherine Sévigny. She is excited to be improving her French language skills at this Francophone University, and taking in the vibrant arts scene in Montreal.
Kathryn earned her Bachelor’s degree in Vocal Performance from Acadia University in May 2007. For the past two years she has been continuing her voice studies at the Victoria Conservatory of Music and in Italy and France during the summers. While in Victoria she has participated in productions with the VCM Opera Studio and the Pacific Opera Chorus. She was a 2008 POV Young Artist, soloist with the Victoria Philharmonic Choir and the VCM Mozart & Haydn Festival, and this year`s “most promising singer” at the Greater Victoria Performing Arts Festival.
This recital programme is a selection of songs and arias which Kathryn has performed this past year at the Greater Victoria Performing Arts Festival, the VCM Opera Idol competition, the VCM Lieder competition, Opera Studio`s Production of Giulio Cesare, and the Christ Church Cathedral St. Cecilia`s Day celebration.
Special thanks to my German coach Klàdia Robertsdottìr-Lewis, Anna Cal, my Russian coach, and Jean Beauregard, my French teacher, for their guidance over the year.
