Ms. Cobbler's projects currently centre around works for solo viola and the Boss RC-30 loop pedal. Kathryn is very excited to premiere a piece for this instrument combination this Fall by Raphael Weinroth-Browne, Canadian cellist and composer.

Through Kathryn Patricia 's work in this area, she continues to develop the repertoire for this instrumentation and expand the identity of the solo viola.
