About the participant

RU, Moscow

Katya saw flute for the first time, when she was 7. Since that time they are inseparable. She got nice classical education at musical school; she is a prize-winner of numerous whole-Russian competitions. Her passion to jazz started with big-bands: Nogin municipal orchestra, orchestra directed by Yu. Chugunov, then “Academic Band” directed by A. Kroll. She received jazz education as a saxophonist. From 2011 she is a leader of her own "Catherine's Project". "Catherine's project" is mostly flute jazz music, in which piccolo-flute sound and character are being revealed fuller: Latin jazz, swing, ballad, bossa-nova, bebop. The ensemble performs at many concert venues of the capital.
