A superbly ethereal and uplifting performance!

Kathryn recently performed at the luncheon that immediately followed a memorial service for our dear daughter who passed away in 2020. As we entered the venue, the artistry of Kathryn's playing immediately lifted everyone's spirits. What could have been a sad day became a joyous celebration of our daughter's life and we very much owe that to Kathryn's wonderful performance.

Great for wedding!

Kat is incredibly talented and went out of her way to perform at our wedding! She worked with a harpist and even practiced a couple of new songs (including a Bollywood one) at our request. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to add beautiful music to their event!

Wonderful!

Kat played for a corporate event we had and she was amazing, beautiful music. We had many comments from guests who enjoyed it. Hope to have her play for us again at another event.
