Kathleen graduated with a Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance from the Australian National University, where she studied under Lillian Tan and Alan Jenkins. Although she now spends most of her weekdays at a desk writing computer programs, the arts remain her passion and she is still very much involved in the music scene. She specialises in accompanying and collaborative work and has performed with various orchestras, choirs, instrumentalists and vocalists. She has been the repetiteur for Canberra Opera since 2015 and was Musical Director for CO’s La Bohéme, Suor Angelica and now Die Fledermaus.
