Catherine’s passion for the potential of music to forge direct and impactful connections with all communities animates her creative initiatives. Her Just Breathe project began during the pandemic as a series of interactive performance workshops for cancer patients, providers and caregivers that explore the intersection of breath and music. Since then, Catherine has developed Just Breathe into a commissioning project that similarly explores this theme, including works for flute, percussion and voice by leading composers such as Juhi Bansal, Clarice Assad, Viet Cuong, Timo Andres, Allison Loggins-Hull and inti figgis-vizueta, which are performed together with percussionist Ian Rosenbaum and soprano Ariadne Greif.

Since 2015, Catherine has been a member of Decoda, the Affiliate Ensemble of Carnegie Hall -- an innovative chamber music collective that performs, teaches, and leads creative projects around the globe. She participates in numerous projects each season, from annual performances in Carnegie Hall to songwriting workshops in prisons, and each summer serves as the flute faculty of the Decoda Chamber Music Festival in North Carolina. Catherine performs on Decoda’s GRAMMY-nominated debut album, which was recorded at the Tippet Rise Art Center and released to critical acclaim in 2024, and she is thrilled to have been named a Co-Artistic Director of the group for 2025-2028.

Committed to nurturing the next generation of young artists, Catherine is a Lecturer in Flute and Woodwind Chamber Music at the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music beginning in 2025. As the Director of the UCLA Gluck Fellows Program since 2024, she also leads an elite group of fellows to engage, connect and share live chamber music performances at non-traditional venues all around Los Angeles. She has been a faculty member at The Colburn School Conservatory since 2023, where she mentors chamber ensembles and the Salonen Conducting Fellows in preparation for community performances. She previously served as Lecturer in Flute at Lawrence Conservatory in Wisconsin and at Moravian College in Pennsylvania, in addition to giving masterclasses all over the world, including at the Queensland Conservatorium (Australia), Curtis, Eastman, The Tianjin Juilliard School, Yong Siew Toh Conservatory (Singapore), The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, and Guildhall School of Music (London).

First venturing to the United States as a Fulbright Scholar, Catherine is the recipient of numerous awards, as well as having graduated with First Class Honors and the University Medal from the Queensland Conservatorium, Griffith University (Australia). Catherine earned her Artist Diploma at Carnegie Mellon University, and was an Ensemble Connect fellow at the Juilliard School and Carnegie Hall from 2012-2014. Her principal teachers were Gerhard Mallon, Alberto Almarza, and Jeanne Baxtresser.

Catherine is proud to have played a Nagahara flute since 2011. When at home in Los Angeles, she loves exploring the many hiking trails, Thai restaurants, and tennis courts hidden amid the labyrinthine city.

Highly sought after as both a soloist and continuo artist, she offers a deeply personal and highly expressive approach to centuries of repertoire and especially delights in sharing early music and the harpsichord with her audiences. Soree began her musical career as a pianist, receiving her Bachelor of Music degree from The Juilliard School, where she studied under Martin Canin. Additionally, she considers herself fortunate to have studied with celebrated pianists Ilana Vered and Adam Wodnicki. As a pianist, Soree was featured on WQXR’s Young Artists Showcase and performed on several occasions with the New Jersey Symphony as the first-prize winner of their Young Artist Competition. Also noted for her interpretation of Chopin, she was a prizewinner in the Kosciuszko Foundation National Chopin Piano Competition. She frequently performed throughout the greater New York area, including appearances at New York’s Cami Hall and Weil Recital Hall of Carnegie Hall.

While continuing her studies at Rutgers University, Soree fell under the spell of the harpsichord, and completed her Master of Music degree under the tutelage of Charlotte Mattax Moersch. She had the privilege to study, either privately or in master classes with prominent harpsichordists such as Gustav Leonhardt, Kenneth Gilbert, Davitt Moroney, and Catalina Vicens. Within only a few months of immersion into the world of the harpsichord, she was one of five finalists and received an Honorable Mention at the prestigious Musica Antiqua International Harpsichord Competition in Bruges.

As a legal scholar primarily focusing on the Fourth Amendment and false confessions, her work was cited by numerous treatises and courts, including by the Supreme Court of Connecticut.

Since returning to the harpsichord, Soree has appeared at the Boston Early Music Festival, where she performed with the UNT Baroque Orchestra, and made her West Coast recital debut as part of the MusicSources concert series in Berkeley, California.
