Catherine at Carnegie Hall

Repeatedly honoured for her exceptional artistry and sensitive musicality, virtuoso pianist and recording artist Catherine Wilson is one of this generation’s most interesting and innovative classical instrumentalists.

She has won the hearts of fans and critics alike with inspired, soulful interpretations. Her renditions of Chopin (described as “exquisite” by the Toronto Star) have been compared to the great Artur Rubenstein.

Catherine’s debut at Carnegie Hall in April, 2005 where she was soloist with the New York Pops and Maestro Skitch Henderson, was a triumphant success. Her performance of Leroy Anderson’s Piano Concerto with Skitch Henderson and the Toronto Symphony Orchestra was filmed by PBS and appears in the documentary in Anderson’s life, Once Upon a Sleigh Ride, which continues to be broadcast continent-wide on Bravo and Classic Arts Showcase.

Catherine appears as a soloist and with Ensemble Vivant on several videos that were created by producer/director Peter Rosen. As a composer, Catherine has written for many CBC Radio productions and Ensemble Vivant recordings. Catherine taught piano at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan and now teaches at York University in Toronto.
