Katelyn Emerson made her Russian performance debut in Krasnoyarsk in two solo performances in the VIII International Festival “The Organ Universe” on November 1 and 2, 2015. These were two of several prizes that she received as Laureate of the 2013 Mikael Tariverdiev Organ Competition in Kaliningrad. Emerson, one of The Diapason’s “20 under 30” Class of 2015, was warmly welcomed by the Russian audiences and presented works of Brahms, Dupré, Escaich, Ives, and Langlais, among others, on the only pipe organ in the entire Krasnoyarsk region of Russia.
A recipient of a J. William Fulbright study/research grant, Emerson is studying organ, harpsichord, fortepiano, and continuo at the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional in Toulouse, France, with Michel Bouvard, Jan Willem Jansen, and Yasuko Uyama-Bouvard. A 2015 graduate of Oberlin College and Conservatory with double bachelor’s degrees in French and organ performance, studying with James David Christie, she will perform concerts in France, Germany, and Belgium before returning to the United States in June 2016.
