Coming from one of our distinguished choral families, Kathryn is one of the exciting generation of younger choral conductors. In addition to the Lumens Chamber Choir, her work as a conductor is focused in her leadership of the internationally recognized St Peters Chorale whose recent performances in Germany and the UK received critical acclaim. Concerts by Kathryn’s choirs have been described as ‘superb’, ‘stunning’, ‘a delight’, and ‘evocative’. As a guest conductor, Kathryn regularly leads workshops, rehearsals and performances for primary, secondary and tertiary students as well as adults.

Educated at the University of Queensland with degrees in Music and Speech Pathology, she brings to her vocal studio at St Peters Lutheran College a high degree of technical skill and expressive nuance, preparing her students for entrance into tertiary institutions in Australia and overseas, and developing their ability to perform professionally in various styles. 

This versatility has seen her conduct workshops in Australia and China, working with local schools and with organisations such as the School of Music in the University of Queensland, the Royal School of Church Music and the Bonyi Festival.

As a speech pathologist she consults with some of our leading singers, assisting them to maintain the vocal heath and well-being that is so essential in their profession.
