Cat was the absolute best. She was truly the highlight of our wedding ceremony and of the cocktail hour. She took requests, was flexible, mobile and interacted with all the guests.

CAT IN ACTION!
Cat was amazing. She exceeded expectations. A true professional in every sense of the word. Conscientious, caring, smart, excellent interpersonal skills and wonderful at listening as well as communicating. That’s all before we get to the playing! Her performance was stunning and evoked emotion. This musician is a ‘can’t miss’ if you’re looking for an ace, bullseye, or ringer. I had no prior knowledge of Cat, but won the lottery taking a chance with her.

4 years old, my mom loves the violin and wanted me to play.
-
I had a strolling violin gig back in May, and it was so fun to dance with the guests (I even had a dance off with this little girl, she was so cute!)
-
Hoenstly, anything and everything! I love jazz, Celtic, fiddle, bluegrass, I'm trying to learn carnatic violin right now, and of course classical and baroque music.
-
I am not a proficient singer but I can sing and match pitch and harmonize! I play viola, 5 string violin, and cello at a lower level.

Because I am half Korean and half white, I have always been in a strange position where I never really fit in with my Korean side or my white side. I grew to love learning music from different countries because it allowed me an unbiased and unclouded glimpse into their culture, and that through music I am able to participate in that culture respectfully. It's always touching because my participation has always been welcome through music, which has connected me to so many different and wonderful people. Selfishly, when I perform at cultural events, I also get to eat their native food which is seriously SO delicious. Music and food tell so many stories about ones country and culture.
-
I teach private violin and viola lessons.
-
My teachers Ronald Houston and Casey Driessen, then by observation Amy Serrano and Akiko Meyers, and Linkin Park (they got me interested in Electric Violin)
-
Sadly not. I can speak some Japanese and some Korean but not enough to converse.
-
My mom is a pianist. She used to accompany me when I was young but when the music got more difficult we stopped playing together.
-
San Angelo Symphony when I was 20.
-
I hold a Bachelors Degree in violin from TCU, a Masters of Music in viola from SMU, and am currently pursuing my Performance Diploma in violin at SMU. I also took lessons from Casey Driessen for a year and a half for jazz, bluegrass, and chop technique.
