Caterina Lichtenberg is a virtuoso mandolin player, hailed as one of the world's premier classical pluckers of the instrument. Her mastery stretches across a myriad of styles, from Baroque to contemporary, and her skill has earned her not only the role of a professorship at the Music Conservatory in Cologne, Germany—the first of its kind dedicated to the mandolin—but also an international reputation as a leading figure in mandolin performance.

Her discography, rich with a diverse range of classical works, has been celebrated for its technical precision and emotive clarity. Recordings like "JS Bach" showcase her profound connection to the composer's repertoire, while "Third Journey" represents a magnificent blend of her virtuosic abilities with traditional folk inspirations alongside her frequent collaborator Mike Marshall, another mandolin virtuoso. The album "Caterina Lichtenberg & Mike Marshall" is a testament to their combined brilliance, featuring a repertoire that seamlessly integrates classical finesse with the vibrant rhythms of bluegrass. Lichtenberg's performances on "Hesse: Music for Mandolin and Guitar" and her stirring interpretation of Bach's "Cello Suite I in G Major, BWV 1007 - Prelude" for SongAid further highlight her range and dedication to the instrument, marking her as a distinctive and influential force in the world of classical mandolin.
