Hailed for her virtuosity and vibrant musical spirit, bassoonist Eleni Katz has established herself as a prominent soloist, chamber musician, and orchestral player. Her “thoughtful and expressive” (San Diego Union Tribune) approach to music making has led her to performances by the bright blue waters of Bermuda to the lights of Carnegie Hall. Eleni is a winner of the 2022 Concert Artist Guild Competition and has performed with the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, the Fort Worth Symphony, the Nu Deco Ensemble, the Jupiter Chamber Players, the Sarasota Orchestra, and as a member of the New World Symphony. Other recent appearances include La Jolla Chamber Music Society’s SummerFest, Bridgehampton Chamber Music Series, a Carnegie Hall Debut with Llewellyn Sanchez- Werner through Young Performers Career Advancement (YPCA), Death of Classical: The Crypt Sessions, the Phoenix Chamber Music Society, Dame Myra Hess Series, Music Academy of the West, Artosphere Festival Orchestra, and Spoleto Festival USA. Her approach to playing the bassoon has been described as “uncannily human” (The Royal Gazette).
