Katherine Bryer began playing the oboe at the age of fourteen in Northamptonshire before moving to Edinburgh in 2010 to study with Joe Houghton at St Mary's Music School. After completing her Bachelor's degree at the Royal Academy of Music in 2017, Katherine continued her studies on the Academy's MA course. During her studies she has learnt with Christopher Cowie, Ian Hardwick and Celia Nicklin, and cor anglais with Sue Bohling and Jill Crowther. Alongside her postgraduate degree Katherine was also keen to expand her opportunities outside of study, and she successfully auditioned for the 2017 London Philharmonic Orchestra's Foyle Future Firsts Development Programme and then the Philharmonia Orchestra's Martin Musical Scholarship Fund Instrumental Fellowship Programme in 2018. An active orchestral musician, Katherine has appeared with orchestras including BBC Symphony Orchestra, Philharmonia Orchestra and London Philharmonic Orchestra and has enjoyed performing in concert halls across the country and abroad. She is a member of the prestigious Countess of Munster Musical Trust Recital Scheme.
