Katherine Young uses expressive noises, curious timbres, and kinetic structures in her electroacoustic music and sonic art. Relationship building is central to her practice. She has worked closely with Yarn/Wire, Wet Ink, Dal Niente, Ensemble Nikel, Linda Jankowska, Olivia De Prato, Weston Olencki, and others. The LA Phil, Internationales Musikinstitut Darmstadt, Fromm Foundation at Harvard University, Third Coast Percussion, the University of Chicago’s Smart Museum of Art, and others have commissioned concert music and installation work. Katherine has documented her music as a bassoonist and improviser on numerous recordings, including duos with Anthony Braxton and Sam Scranton (as Beautifulish). She teaches at Emory University in Atlanta, USA, and was a 2021 Guggenheim Fellow in Music Composition.
