Kate Dillingham enjoys a varied career as a soloist and collaborative artist, and is an avid proponent of the music of living composers. She has performed as a soloist in 18th-21st century repertoire with the St. Petersburgh Philharmonic, The Moscow Symphony Orchestra, The Salzburg Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Moscow Chamber Orchestra. She has appeared numerous times at Carnegie Hall, Weill Recital Hall, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Lincoln Center, Margemusic, Symphony Space, and The DiMenna Center in New York City. She has performed at the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia, PA, and has presented twice at the United States Supreme Court in Washington, DC.

Ms. Dillingham has made several recordings; Haydn's Cello Concertos with The Moscow Chamber Orchestra and music of Claude Debussy, Arthur Honegger, and Gabriel Fauré, and works of Witold Lutoslawski, Victor Herbert, Antonin Dvorák, and Pulitzer Prize-winner Jennifer Higdon with the Moscow Symphony Orchestra. Her most recent recording project entitled CROSSINGS: New Music For Cello featuring commissioned works by composers of Random Access Music, Alia Musica and several notable individuals was achieved through “crowd- funding” and was the “Album of the Week” on WQXR’s Q2 program.

As a student of Bernard Greenhouse, Ms. Dillingham received both a Bachelor and Master of Music from Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University, after which she studied with Professor Maria Tchaikovskaya at the Moscow Conservatory. A long association with Mr. Greenhouse led to collaboration on an edition of the Sonatas for Violoncello and Keyboard BWV 1027-1029 by J.S. Bach, published by G. Schirmer Inc., which she presented in a combined concert and lecture at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Ms. Dillingham has served on the faculty at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, PA, and at the New York Summer Music Festival at SUNY, Oneonta; under the auspices of The Connecticut Alliance for Music, she developed an Outreach Program for string education for school children in Bridgeport, CT.
