Catherine Kautsky is a concert pianist and Professor of Music and Chair of Keyboard Studies at Lawrence University. She has performed in such venues as Alice Tully Hall and Carnegie Recital Hall in New York, Jordan Hall and the Gardner Museum in Boston, the Phillips Collection in Washington D.C., and the Cultural Center in Chicago.
While teaching at UW-Madison, she was awarded the prestigious Arts Institute Creative Arts Award for her work connecting music with other disciplines, particularly literature. Ms. Kautsky has traveled widely, performing in France, England, Italy, Spain, China, Korea, Brazil, Australia, and South Africa.
Her CD of music for piano and narrator, in which she both performs and speaks, was issued by Vox Classics, and her CD of the complete Debussy Preludes was released by Centaur in September 2014 and lauded as “intelligent and insightful Debussy artistry” that “brings out all the power, majesty, and mystery of Debussy’s conception.” She is currently writing a book on the social history of Debussy’s piano music.
Ms. Kautsky holds a bachelor’s degree from the New England Conservatory, a master’s from the Juilliard School, and a doctorate from the State University of New York at Stony Brook, where she studied under Gilbert Kalish. Following her New York debut, the New York Times called her “a pianist who can play Mozart and Schubert as though their sentiments and habits of speech coincided exactly with hers....She gave these pieces nuances that made them meaningful on a human everyday level. The music spoke directly to the listener, with neither obfuscation nor pretense.”
This event is hosted by the OPT Sesquicentennial Committee and Harriet Hausman.
