Katharine is one of the most wonderful musicians I have come across, and for years has been top of my list of people to invite to the festival. She has a big solo career, playing concertos with the Royal Philharmonic, Bournemouth Symphony and Royal Liverpool Philharmonic orchestras, the BBC Big Band and the Chicago Jazz Ensemble, and touring the world with Nigel Kennedy and the English Chamber Orchestra playing Bach’s Double Violin Concerto.

She regularly attends the Open Chamber Music seminar at IMS Prussia Cove.
