Violinist Katherine McLin enjoys an extremely varied and prolific performing career as a concerto soloist, recitalist, and chamber and orchestral musician. Since her debut with the Oregon Symphony at the age of fifteen, Dr. McLin has made over 50 appearances as soloist with orchestras across the country. Recent appearances include the Bach Double Concerto with Ani Kafavian and the ProMusica Chamber Orchestra (OH), the North American premier of Hans Gal's Violin Concerto with the Musica Nova Orchestra of Scottsdale, and Chris Brubeck’s Interplay with jazz violinist Regina Carter at the ASTA National Conference in Reno, NV.
As a recitalist and chamber musician, Dr. McLin performs extensively throughout the US and abroad, with concerts in England, Belgium, Mexico and eight states in 2009-2010. Her performances may be heard on 14 compact disc recordings under the Summit, Centaur, and Opus One labels. This year, she appears on five CD releases including Beau Soir, a disc of French violin/piano duo music with pianist Andrew Campbell. Dr. McLin's live performances have been broadcast on NPR's Performance Today, NYC's WQXR (Bob Sherman's "Listening Room" program), and local radio stations throughout the country.
Dr. McLin currently serves as Concertmaster of the Columbus ProMusica Orchestra in Ohio, and in the past has served as Concertmaster of the Brevard Music Center Orchestra, the Michigan Sinfonietta, and the Aspen Sinfonia Orchestra, and Principal Second Violin of the Michigan Opera Theater Orchestra.
A committed and passionate teacher, Dr. McLin is an Associate Professor of Violin at Arizona State University. In 2004 she won the Distinguished Teacher Award for the College of Fine Arts at ASU, chosen from over 170 faculty. Dr. McLin is a frequent guest recitalist and clinician and has presented master classes at over 40 music schools across the country and abroad as well as at the 2008 National American String Teachers Association conference.
Dr. McLin received her doctorate in violin performance from the University of Michigan as a student of Paul Kantor. She holds additional performance degrees from Indiana University and the Oberlin College Conservatory, and for three years was an orchestral fellowship recipient at the Aspen Music Festival. Her former teachers include Franco Gulli, Josef Gingold, and Kathleen Winkler.
