Kate Moran

Kate is a versatile musician with extensive experience performing classical, contemporary, early music and folk music. She is particularly interested in the point where early music and folk music meet, and enjoys playing for dancers.

Kate studied modern and baroque violin at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire and continued her studies at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester. Here she was awarded a Masters degree in performance, and a PGCE with a string pedagogy specialism. Her teachers included Malcolm Layfield (modern violin) and Pauline Nobes (baroque violin). During her studies, Kate was a member of the Britten Pears Orchestra and Baroque Orchestra.

Kate plays violin and viola with Boldwood, an ensemble who specialise in collecting and bringing to life rarely-heard tunes from 18th century English dance music collections.
She is also a member of Piva – The Renaissance Collective, a group formed by makers of historical instruments who perform popular dance and ballad music of the late 16th century. With Piva, Kate plays violin, recorders and early capped woodwinds.

A passionate believer that quality music education should be available to all young people, Kate is much in demand as a violin teacher and ensemble director. She taught in Manchester schools and on the RNCM Young Strings programme, and from 2008 until relocating, she was the principal conductor of Manchester Youth String Orchestra.

Kate has recently moved from the UK to Hong Kong.
