She has been a member of the Knoxville Choral Society and the Knoxville Chamber Chorale since 2010, and could sing choral music all day long, from chamber style and early music to large scale masterworks and contemporary arrangements. As a self-proclaimed choral music nerd, Kathryn considers vocal choral literature as her version of a book club.
