Violinist Kate PHOTOS

Kate is a world famous & award winning musical sensation. She is a highly trained electric & classical violinist and has had over 17 years of rigorous training, including both BMus & MMus degrees in Violin Performance from the prestigious Royal Northern College of Music. Unlike so many of today's performers, Kate performs a repertoire that includes hundreds of pieces by memory - without sheet music!

Kate often incorporates a mixture of traditional pieces - executed on her custom-made classical violin - and the innovative sound of fusion performance on her Ted Brewer Vivo 2 electric violin. Kate caters each individual booking to her clients' specific requirements, and in doing so Kate ensures that each customer is entirely satisfied with both the content and style of her delivery.

Kate will add a glittering new dimension to your event, be it an electrifying stage show or a more subtle background performance. Kate has previously appeared on TV in the UK on BBC 1, and has performed for corporate clients and celebrities that have included Land Rover, IBM, House of Fraser, Heineken, Debenhams, Steve Coogan, The Rt. Hon. William Hague, and in Geneva for an International Forex Event. She has toured right across the UK, Europe and also performed in both Dubai & the USA, wowing audiences at every venue.

" A great blend of classical music delivered with the contemporary twist that today's listener wants to hear, Kate's music is a welcome addition to any style of event/party. "

Colin Hill - Aspire Leeds

" Kate played at the Yorkshire Cancer Research Art Exhibition which was held at Pavilions of Harrogate last May. The event was attended by around 350 people and was opened by The Rt. Hon. William Hague. Following our initial discussion, Kate chose a selection of classical and elegant popular pieces to play. Her performance was impeccable and I received many complimentary comments. I would not hesitate to use her again. "

Sally Crerar, Cancer Research UK

" Just to say thank you for your truly wonderful playing yesterday. Many guests from my 50th birthday party in Lincolnshire have contacted me today, mentioning how much they enjoyed listening to you. My most sincere best wishes for all that you hope to achieve in the future. "

Mark Riddle

" When we were planning our wedding we of course wanted to make the day as memorable and beautiful as possible. We were searching for ideas for our wedding whilst in Leeds City Centre one day and heard Kate’s music down the street. We ventured down to see her playing, and we both commented on how wonderful it would be to have her play at our ceremony. We approached Kate who was really friendly and kept in communication with us up to the big day. Kate helped us to pick the music we wanted, sending us samples of suggested tracks, and finding backing music for ones we requested. On the day of the wedding Kate didn’t disappoint, everyone commented on how wonderful her music was and the violin added a real touch of class to our day. Kate was on time, immaculately dressed and played wonderfully – we’d really recommend Kate for whatever your event. We’ve since listened to Kate’s new album which is great, and has a real mix of classical favorites and modern hits. "

Vikki & Gareth Brown

We were really pleased with her musical choices for the evening and her violin playing is simply brilliant. As we arrived at the venue, we could hear Kate start to play, which was a nice touch and set the mood for the evening to come. We would recommend her to everyone, whatever the occasion. "

" Having had Kate perform at our wedding earlier this year we are delighted to recommend her. Her repertoire was excellent. She was professional at all times, and communicated regularly. Her Violin music was beautiful at the Hotel wedding ceremony and the blessing service that followed held at Bolton Abbey Priory in North Yorkshire. Kate is a real find! "

Jane & Paul Holmes

" I saw Kate playing her violin in Huddersfield Town Centre; I never knew the violin could sound so beautiful. Some of the tunes Kate played brought a tear to my eyes and a lump in my throat. If you get the chance to see her play you will not regret it and I recommend her CD's to play to relax, they will make you drift away from the stresses of the day. "
