American flutist Kathryn Farenish made her solo debut at Carnegie Hall at the age of 16 and has continued to build a dynamic career driven by her passion for music. Praised for her “impeccable piccolo playing” by Washington Classical Review, she has emerged as one of today’s most versatile and sought-after performers. An active orchestral and chamber musician, her 2026-2027 season includes appearances with the National Philharmonic Orchestra, Alexandria Symphony Orchestra, Maryland Symphony Orchestra, Chesapeake Orchestra, American Contemporary Classical Orchestra as Associate Principal Flute, Bel Cantanti Opera as Solo Flute, and Bach in Baltimore, where she serves as Principal Flute and featured soloist.
Her solo engagements this season include concerto performances with the Chesapeake Orchestra, featuring Vivaldi’s Concerto per Flautino in C Major, RV 443, and with Bach in Baltimore, where she will perform Mozart’s Concerto No. 1 in G Major, K313, and Vivaldi’s La tempesta di mare, RV 433. Ms. Farenish holds Bachelor and Master of Music degrees from The Juilliard School, where she studied with Robert Langevin, Principal Flute of the New York Philharmonic, and is currently pursuing a Doctor of Musical Arts degree at The Catholic University of America, studying with Aaron Goldman, Principal Flute of the National Symphony Orchestra.
