ABOUT KATHRYN PATRICIA
Hello, my name is Kathryn Patricia Cobbler and am a violist, performing artist, composer and educator.
In my work, I am passionate about being a catalyst for
meaningful musical experiences.
Specializing in performing with and composing for solo viola and loop pedal (a device that allows me to sound like a chamber string orchestra) I specialize in the areas of Classical new music and live improvisation. To date I have written and performed over 40 compositions for this instrument combination.
As a composer and performing artist, I am a recipient of an
Emerging Artist Award for my work.
As an artist on the MASC Artist roster and performance instructor at Carleton University, I give online and live interactive concerts in concert halls and community spaces alike. As an educator, my work is centred around strings, loop pedals and effects, live improvisation and community music-making.
