Katherine started out playing piano and reading music before she could read words, around the age of 4. After learning the standard classical repertoire, she became enamored with the music written before 1750 and the Baroque style in particular. At Indiana University she studied the great works and also the art of ensemble accompaniment, otherwise known as basso continuo, and mastered the principles of rendering figured bass into the fabric of every ensemble performance. Katherine's performances as a continuo player can be heard in the texture of many recordings with some of the finest artists in historical performance.

This improvisatory style is a joy to play and informs her performance of all the keyboard genres she plays. She also works frequently in the contemporary music realm, and has incorporated new music, jazz, and performance art elements in many of her endeavors as well as actively pursuing jazz piano, where she applies the foundation of basso continuo to the keyboard comping and soloing that's so integral to jazz performance.

In addition to her many endeavors as a performer, Katherine also works as a consultant for Forrester Research in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
