News and AnnouncementsJuly 23, 2024
Check the performance calendar for Katie's fall gigs! This fall, it is all about new works, new companies, and new repertoire with old and new friends! In addition, a few delightful photos from last fall's performances of Iolanthe with Pittsburgh Savoyards are now posted on the gallery page. Katie had a blast with the Savoyards and will be looking to join them again in future seasons. Katie continues to delve into Ukrainian music both in performance and in her academic activities. Last winter, she was honored to join members of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra in another meaningful and musically exquisite Ukrainian benefit concert, pictured below. Katie was particularly pleased to offer Mykola Lysenko's Prayer for Ukraine in both Ukrainian and a new English translation by Pittsburgh writers Tara Hutchinson and Michael Greenstein. Although that performance was not recorded, recordings of Katie's earlier performance of Ukrainian repertoire are still available for digital download for a donation of any size to Ukraine TrustChain.

The website is now updated with summer and fall performances! This July, Katie will again join Aria412 for another fun concert at Hop Farm Brewing Company, this time featuring classics from the Great American Songbook. Later in the month, she will once again join forces with local pianist Eric Dzugan to give a recital of works by Sergey Rachmaninoff as a part of the Exploring the Piano series. In lieu of the cost of admission, donations will be taken for Razom for Ukraine, supporting Ukraine's survival and fight for freedom. In the fall, Katie will join Pittsburgh Savoyards (after a 7 year break from the Savoyards stage!) in a role debut as Phyllis, "an Arcadian shepherdess and ward in chancery," in Gilbert and Sullivan's Iolanthe. See the link in the calendar on this page for details and tickets. Announcement: Ongoing fundraiser for Ukraine TrustChain in connection with last summer's Concert of Ukrainian Words and Music High quality recordings of Katie's renditions of rarely performed Ukrainian repertoire, together with instrumental works and poetry that were performed at Pitt's Concert of Ukrainian Words and Music last summer are now available for download in return for a donation of any size to Ukraine TrustChain. This ongoing fundraiser is a continuation of the concert's fundraising effort last summer at the benefit event sponsored by Pitt's Summer Language Institute and Department of Music and featuring professional musicians associated with Pitt, Summer Language Institute faculty and students, and a traditional Ukrainian bandurist.

It was a wonderful fall and winter season making the most in-person music since COVID and continuing to raise funds for Ukrainians and share Ukrainian culture through music performance (photo from benefit concert with musicians of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, sponsored by the Three Rivers Young Peoples Orchestras and raising money for Nova Ukraine -- please consider donating!). Please check the site again in early summer for some announcements including an upcoming Rachmaninoff event and new roles and new music.
