Kate Vetter Cain, Soprano

Reilly Lewis.  Kate has also been a soloist for Leonard Slatkin with the National Chamber Players in Mahler’s 4th Symphony, for Kenneth Slowik in BWV 51 “Jauchzet Gott,” and also with the Cathedral Choral Society, Baltimore Symphony Orchestra with conductor Marin Alsop, Folger Consort, Chantry, Cathedra, Washington Concert Opera with conductor Antony Walker, Orchestra of St. Luke’s with conductor Will Crutchfield, Washington Ballet, DC’s In Series, Ash-Lawn Highland Festival, Caramoor Festival Opera, Tanglewood Music Center, and Off-Broadway with The New York Gilbert and Sullivan Players.  Kate earned a B.A. in History from Yale University, as well as a Master in Voice from Manhattan School of Music and a DMA from the University of Maryland, and served for ten years as music teacher at a bilingual DC public charter school.  Kate currently maintains a private voice studio in Washington, DC.
