THERE IS NO NIGHT WITHOUT A DAWNING

Praised by the New York Times for her “crystalline performances, gestural expressiveness, and careful attention to color”, and by the Boston Globe for her “effortless incisiveness”, award- winning “tour-de- force” (OpusKlassiek, Berkshire Eagle) Dr. Katherine Dowling performs across North America and Europe as a soloist and chamber musician. Katherine is familiar to audiences as an artist-in-residence at the Orlando Festival (Netherlands) and a resident fellow of the Avaloch Farm Music Institute (USA); as a multi-year fellow of the Tanglewood Music Center, a New Fromm Fellow, and a Britten-Pears Young Artist; through extensive involvement and numerous positions at The Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity; and through multiple national tours under the auspices of the Eckhardt-Gramatté National Music Competition. As a soloist, and as a member of the chamber ensemble Gruppo Montebello, Katherine appears on eight critically-acclaimed recordings on the Etcetera label. Her performances have been broadcast on the CBC (Canada), Radio-Canada, BBC (United Kingdom), and National Radio 4 (Netherlands). Recent highlights include joining Angela Hewitt and Silvie Cheng in Mozart’s Triple Concerto at Ottawa Chamberfest; her recital debuts in Vienna and The Hague; several tours with violinist Kerry DuWors for Prairie Debut; a recording of the piano works of Alice Ping-Yee Ho (Leaf Music label); and appearing as a concerto soloist with orchestra in repertoire including Benjamin Britten, W.A. Mozart, Colin McPhee, and Florence Price. She has premiered over twenty-five new works by composers including Louis Andriessen and John Harbison. She credits her own teacher, celebrated American pianist-pedagogue Gilbert Kalish, and conductors Henk Guittart and Oliver Knussen, as the major influences in her musical life.
