Katherine Jenkinson is widely recognized as one of the UK's leading cellists, specializing in both solo and chamber music. Praised by *The Independent* for her "technical security backed up by rare musical sensitivity," she has built a distinguished career performing across Europe, Africa, the USA, and Asia. Educated at the Royal Academy of Music, where she earned a first-class degree and the prestigious DipRAM, Katherine has been an Associate of the Academy (ARAM) and has performed extensively as a recitalist and concerto soloist. She has been a key member of ensembles like The Allegri String Quartet and The Aquinas Piano Trio, whose recordings have been highly praised by *Gramophone* and *The Strad* magazine.

Katherine has also premiered new works written for her and collaborated closely with notable composers such as Arvo Pärt and Anthony Payne. Besides performing, she has taught at leading institutions including the Royal Academy of Music and Trinity Laban. Her musical journey started early in Derby, where she began cello lessons at age five, and she currently plays on an Italian cello by Taningardi from 1703, made possible with support from the Countess of Munster. Katherine’s diverse musical engagements also include recordings for film and television and collaborations with artists across genres, showcasing her versatility and depth as a cellist.
