Purchase tickets$20 general admissionStudents free (ticket required) Mead Witter School of Music Faculty Artist Series Hailed for her virtuosity and vibrant musical spirit, bassoonist Eleni Katz has established herself as a prominent soloist, chamber musician, and orchestral player. Her “thoughtful and expressive” (San Diego Union Tribune) approach to music making has led her from performances by the bright blue waters of Bermuda to the lights of Carnegie Hall. Eleni is a winner of the 2022 Concert Artist Guild Victor Elmaleh Competition and has performed with the likes of Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, Camerata Pacifica, La Jolla Music Society’s SummerFest, and the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra. Currently, Eleni is bassoon teaching faculty at the University of Wisconsin–Madison’s Mead Witter School of Music. Her approach to playing the bassoon has been described as “uncannily human” (The Royal Gazette) and she has always believed the bassoon should strive to emulate the organic resonance of the human voice. This season, Eleni looks forward to several commissioning projects and tours with her newly formed duo, Basso Vox, with double bassist Nina Bernat.
