During her studies at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, Katarina was Vice-President of the Sydney University Piano Society and President of the Conservatorium Students Association. In 2019, her passion for the intersection between music and gender studies allowed her to have two academic articles published in university journals, both of which focus on the representation of women in music. In 2019, Katarina also directed her own concert festival in 2019 for the 200th Anniversary of Clara Schumann, where she featured as a soloist with the Modest Orchestra performing Clara Schumann’s piano concerto. In 2020, Katarina was selected as a finalist in the Sydney Conservatorium’s piano concerto competition performing Ravel’s Concerto for the Left Hand.
As a collaborative artist, Katarina has been a permanent member of all-female modern music group Ensemble Muse, musician and artist group Dreambox Collective, and piano duo “Katarina and Ro” with pianist Ronan Apcar.
Currently, Katarina continues to perform across Sydney as a solo and collaborative artist in both classical music and corporate gig settings.
