About Me
Katherine Gray is an experienced and professional violinist, Suzuki-certified educator, and passionate performer with over two decades of experience in the field of music.
Born and raised in Santiago, Chile, she began her musical journey as a self-taught violinist at the age of eight, driven by natural curiosity and passion. She began formal lessons at age nine and quickly emerged as a dedicated and talented young musician.
She earned her Bachelor of Music degree from the prestigious Universidad de Chile, where she studied under the instruction of Rodolfo Mellado. Seeking further artistic and professional development, she moved to the United States and completed both a Master of Music in Violin Performance and an Artist Diploma Certificate at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She was awarded a full scholarship for her Artist Diploma in recognition of her exceptional talent and dedication.
As a performer, Katherine has appeared as a chamber musician and orchestral player in concerts and festivals across Latin America and North America. Her festival appearances include the FEMUSC International Music Festival in Brazil (2017–2018), the Huilo Huilo Music Festival (2018), and the FIMP - Festival Internacional de Música en la Patagonia (2018), where she studied and performed with renowned faculty and fellow musicians from around the world, like Otto Derolez, Alessandro Borgomanero, Matias De Oliveira, Richard Roberts, and Ole Bøhn, among others.
She currently performs with the Westmoreland Symphony Orchestra and the Butler County Symphony Orchestra, contributing to Western Pennsylvania’s vibrant classical music scene.
As a Suzuki-certified violin teacher, Katherine is known for her warm, structured, and encouraging teaching style. She works with students of all ages and levels, preparing them for competitions, participating in youth orchestras, and pursuing personal enrichment. Her approach combines the technical rigor of classical training with the nurturing, ear-based methods of the Suzuki philosophy.
Now based in Bridgeville, PA, Katherine runs a thriving music studio and continues to perform, mentor, and share her lifelong passion for music with the next generation of musicians.
When she's not teaching or performing, she enjoys spending time with her pets, reading, or relaxing by building LEGO sets — a creative hobby that reflects her love of structure and imagination.
