San Francisco Conservatory of Music

An internationally acclaimed soloist, Catherine won the gold medal at the prestigious USA International Harp Competition and has performed solo concerts around the world.

She's also a dedicated educator teaching at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and the Aspen Music Festival.

She's earned both her bachelor's and master's degrees from Juilliard.

What I particularly love about Catherine... is how openly and thoughtfully she shares her experiences as a professional musician, including the challenges that don't necessarily disappear when you reach the highest levels of the profession.
