Kathryn Brunhaver – Past Concerts

Cellist Kathryn Brunhaver currently lives in Eugene, OR where she is a member of the Elsewhere Ensemble and Eugene Symphony. She has appeared as a guest artist with Chamber Music Amici, microphilharmonic, Oregon Bach Festival Orchestra, Columbia River Chamber Music Festival, Icicle Creek Chamber Music Festival, Astoria Music Festival Orchestra, and as Principal Cello with Orchestra NEXT, among others. She completed a Doctorate in Cello Performance at the University of Oregon in 2017 and was named Outstanding Graduate Performer. Kathryn enjoys exploring innovative ways of playing the cello and has earned a reputation for specializing in new music, which has included premiering works for solo vocalizing cellist, as well as composing works for herself. This interest in new music extends across genres and has led her to join two regionally-acclaimed bands—Satori Bob and Halie and the Moon. She also performs as a solo singer-songwriter under the name Queen of Cups. Kathryn holds a Master's degree from the Cleveland Institute of Music, and a Bachelor's degree from the Peabody Institute, where she was the recipient of the Ruth Blaustein Rosenberg Orchestral Scholarship and the prestigious Presser Undergraduate Scholar Award.
