The Power of The Piano

Interview with Kat Souponetsky (née Katerina Kramarchuk). She is a composer, pianist and educator based in Philadelphia whose music has been described as "quick-witted, tightly constructed and ruefully introspective, with propulsive, sometimes jazzy rhythms and suave textures" (The Oregonian). Her works have been performed and broadcasted across the globe at respected venues such as The Louvre, Bargemusic, The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, Dresden Music Festival, Peter Jay Sharp Theater, Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, Le Fontainebleau Château, U.S. Airways radio, and the Isabelle Stewart Gardner Museum. She has been commissioned by chamber music groups and institutions such as Curtis Institute of Music, Dolce Suono Ensemble, Portland Chamber Orchestra, New York Choreographic Institute, The Rock School for Dance Education, The Mousai, ensemble39, and PRISM Saxophone Quartet. In a previous season, she was the recipient of the first ever commission by Philadelphia Inquirer, as a part of their new media initiative in the arts. She has also been commissioned by the Chamber Music Northwest Festival where she was the first protégé composer in residence in 2012. In 2011, she was the first composer to be commissioned by One Book One Philadelphia.
