Katherine McLin

Katherine McLin is a violinist scheduled to perform as soloist with ProMusica Chamber Orchestra in Columbus, Ohio, in November 2026. The program pairs Bach with Arvo Pärt and Beethoven. Beyond this appearance, our directory does not have verified biographical details on her.

This program places Bach alongside Arvo Pärt and Beethoven, a combination that lets a listener hear three very different ideas of what a solo violin can do against an orchestra. Bach's writing tends toward clean, dance-like lines and interlocking counterpoint, where the soloist and ensemble trade short melodic ideas back and forth. Pärt's music, by contrast, often works with very simple materials, long tones, bell-like repetitions, and a lot of silence, so listeners can expect a sparer, more meditative sound world. Beethoven's contribution likely brings back full-bodied melody and dramatic contrast, with the violin required to project over a fuller orchestral texture. Across the evening, expect the soloist's tone and pacing to be tested in three distinct ways: precision and dance rhythm, restraint and space, and singing, sustained lines built for expressive weight.
