Katherine Gregory
As part of Truro Choral Society's charitable remit, we have developed an Artist in Residence programme aimed at supporting and encouraging young musicians at the start of their professional career. 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 is currently studying for an MA at the Royal Academy of Music, learning with Susan Waters and James Ballieu.
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. While at Cambridge, she performed many operatic roles including the Contessa in
Le Nozze Di Figaro, Rosalinde in Johann Strauss'

The Magic Flute. She was also awarded first prize in the prestigous Clare College Song Competiton.
