About Kathryn
Without a doubt, Kathryn's (BMus Voice Performance, MMus Ed. Choral Conducting) contribution to choral music is quickly becoming recognized all over the world. She is known for being a major influence in Calgary's choral community because of her enthusiastic and passionate approach with her choirs. With a mission to inspire singers with quality music and vocal training, Kathryn aims to encourage self-awareness and confidence through performance opportunity, music education and literacy, and community involvement.
Currently, Kathryn (b. 1981) is the principal director for a large youth show and concert choir with the Youth Singers of Calgary as well as the director of the University of Calgary Chorus and Chamber Choir at the School of Creative and Performing Arts in Calgary, Alberta. In March of 2020, Kathryn founded and was the Artistic Director for the Calgary Physician Choir- a choir of women physicians who sought music to cope with the stresses of being on the front lines during the COVID-19 Pandemic. In addition to teaching private music students, she is a frequent adjudicator and clinician for several schools and music festivals in and around Alberta. Several treble and mixed choir compositions are published by Cypress Music Publishing, Alliance Music Publications, and dozens more self-published titles that can be found on her website: www.kathrynparrottamusic.com.
When not composing, Kathryn loves to explore new restaurants and spend time with her family, which is usually driving around her three daughters.
