Unique Violin Performances for Community Engagement
Foster connection and culture through investing in your local arts and music scene
Connection
Creativity
Engagement
I am an advocate for community! Something about seeing people come together rings true with the deepest parts of who I am. My heart is tied to the life, energy and connection that comes from tight knit communities and meaningful relationships.
I grew up in regional Far North Queensland so I have a strong connection to small country towns and isolated communities. I understand the importance of investing in these all-to-often forgotten areas where opportunities to get in involved in music-making, creative arts or learning an instrument can be prohibitively inaccessible.
Over the last decade I have had the privilege to work in a number of regional and remote areas across Australia and internationally. From performing in the slums of Manila to facilitating long-distance school activities via radio and even playing for the inmates of a Ugandan prison, I have seen the highs and lows of humanity. Sometimes community is all we have and it needs to be treasured. I have been approached by adults and children who have told me that my performance was the first time they had ever heard a violin played in real life and not “just on TV”.
With formal training in community engagement and a huge passion for seeing arts and community flourish in the most remote areas of Australia, I am an artist open to connection, creativity and engagement.

“The residents and staff were very appreciative of Katisha’s talents. One of the things they commented on after she’d left was the variety in her music and the professional way she performed. They also appreciated her sense of humour. Some of the residents may not remember her being there but we all saw how much they appreciated Katisha on the day!” - Barry Andersson (Warina Nursing Home)

“I loved hearing your playing and the skill that was displayed from beginning to end. I loved hearing your passion for God and His people through your music, through the lyrics to your own pieces and through the spoken words you shared. You have been gifted with an amazing talent and you use it well for His glory.” - Rosanne Betts
