Catriona is a passionate song pianist and has recently been a prize-winner at the Royal Academy of Music Schumann Lieder Competition, and the Edith Poulsen prize, and was finalist in the Ashburnham English Song Competition. Furthermore, she has performed with the Academy Voices in St John’s Smith Square and the Italian Cultural Centre.

 A sought-after chamber musician, Catriona is a member of The Phoenix Duo with American ‘cellist Josiah Duhlstine, exploring not only some of the classical ‘cello sonata repertoire but that of living British composers too, as well as their own arrangements of traditional Scottish music. They have had the chance to work with Errollyn Wallen on her piece, Dervish, and are exploring works by James Macmillan. In 2021 they won the Louis Carus Duo Ensemble Prize and were accepted onto the selective Live Music Now Scotland Scheme.
