Katelyn Vahala – Dreamscapes

Dreamscapes takes the listener through landscapes both real and imagined. Inspired by music that brings together both the natural and fantastical, along with her own love for the outdoors, Vahala will perform works by John Luther Adams, Juhi Bansal, John Corigliano, Corey Dundee (new commission), Kate Moore, Gabriella Smith, Daniel Temkin (West Coast premiere) and Gillian Whitehead. 

Praised as a “highly accomplished pianist….with wonderfully rhythmic and robust playing” (New York Concert Review), Katelyn Vahala is a passionate soloist, chamber musician, educator, and arts advocate in the Los Angeles area.  Katelyn was a finalist in the 2022 Leipzig International Bach Competition, where she performed with the Mendelssohn Kammerorchester Leipzig. In addition to winning the 2021 USC Thornton Concerto Competition, Katelyn is the first prize winner of the 2019 Rosalyn Tureck International Bach Competition, where she also won the Contemporary Music Award.
