Artist in Residence

Katherine Gregory

As part of Truro Choral Society's charitable remit, we have developed an Artist in Residence scheme aimed at supporting and encouraging young musicians at the start of their professional careers.  We are delighted that Katherine Gregory, soprano, has agreed to accept the inaugural position as Artist in Residence to Truro Choral Society.  The Residency will extend for a period of 3 years during which Katherine will appear as soloist once each choir season (subject to there being a professionally suitable role), and when the Society will seek to generally promote Katherine's career, concerts etc.

Katherine grew up in Truro and was a chorister at the Cathedral from 2015-2020.  She recently graduated from the University of Cambridge with a BA (Hons) in Theology and Philosophy. During this time she sang with Trinity College Choir, with whom she made many recordings including Duruflé's Requiem (Hyperion Records) in Saint Eustache, Paris, in which she performed the mezzo-soprano Pie Jesu movement.

While at Cambridge, Katherine performed many operatic roles, including the Contessa in Le Nozze Di Figaro, Rosalinde in Johann Strauss' Die Fledermaus and Queen of the Night in Mozart's The Magic Flute.

Katherine's recent solo highlights include Any Beach's Canticle of the Sun with the Bach Choir and Philharmonia Orchestra under David Hill at the Royal Festival Hall; Duruflé's Requiem (Bach Choir, David Hill, Holy Trinity Sloane Square and King's College Cambridge); Brahms' Requiem with Trinity College Choir uder Stephen Layton; Bach's St Matthew Passion with Westminster Abbey Choir and Andrew Nethsingha.  Katherine's most recent performance with the Society was as soprano soloist in Rossini's Petite Messe Solennelle in June 2024.
