catherine dudley's musical performance resume

 

Catherine Dudley’s sound has been heard around the globe in Russia, England, France, Finland, and Scotland, as a soloist and with others, as well as in downtown Manhattan venues such as Fez, the Knitting Factory, CBGB’s gallery and the like. Here in NYC she has shared the stage with Danielle Howle, (opener for Dylan), Joey Ramone co-writer Al Maddy, and broadcast TV with Brandy and Diana Ross, to name a few. She has performed for Pope John Paul at the U.S.C. Stadium, and at a young age was chosen as the Southeastern solo performer for Tony
Randal. Though more focused today on alternative music, rock, jazz, and improvisation and how music melds with storylines via the stage or film, catherine has a lengthy background with orchestral performances.  She has played at Calloway Gardens for President and Mrs. Carter, performed with Marvin Hamlish, and alongside stellar violinists David Kim, (Eighth ranked worldwide violinist), and Young Yuk Kim, (Stradivarius owner/violinist). David Kim is currently the concert master for the Philadelphia Symphony.
