Kate Boyd will perform on Sunday, Oct. 28, 2018, at 4 p.m. as part of the Sunday Music Series at the Howard Performing Arts Center on the campus of Andrews University.

Described by Gramophone Magazine as having a “strong lyrical bent and feeling for nuance,” American pianist Kate Boyd is an active soloist and chamber musician who has performed solo recitals at many places throughout the U.S. and Canada. She has performed in Weill Hall at Carnegie Hall, Schubert’s birth house in Vienna, the National Concert Hall in Dublin and the Musikhalle Hamburg.

Boyd received her Bachelor of Music from Oberlin Conservatory and her Master of Music and Doctor of Musical Arts from Stony Brook University, where she studied with renowned pianist and pedagogue Gilbert Kalish. She also received a diploma from the Hannover (Germany) Academy of Musica and a Fulbright Grant to study at the Cologne (Germany) Academy of Music.

Boyd currently serves as professor of piano and piano area coordinator at Butler University. As a faculty member, she has appeared as a soloist with each of the University’s large ensembles in performances ranging from Beethoven’s “Choral Fantasy” to Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue.” A passionate advocate for the music of our time, Boyd has performed numerous world premieres, including James Woodward’s “Concerto for Piano and Wind Ensemble.” In the summers, she is on the faculty of Interlochen Arts Camp in northern Michigan. Formerly, she was on the faculty of Heidelberg University in Tiffin, Ohio, and for ten summers taught at Kinhaven Music School in Weston, Vermont.

A masterclass will follow Boyd’s concert. All are welcome to attend. No tickets are required for this event.
