Katie Sucha is a PhD Candidate in Musicology at Case Western Reserve University. She works as program manager of the Stearns Collection of Musical Instruments at the University of Michigan. Katie holds a bachelor’s degree in vocal music education from Eastern Michigan University and a master’s degree in music history from Binghamton University.
A lifelong fan of early music, Katie’s interest in Renaissance and Baroque sacred repertoire has led her to a variety of interesting performance projects. She has sung with Quire Cleveland, the Cleveland Chamber Choir, and Red Shift, and directs music for the University of Michigan’s annual Shakespeare in the Arb performances. Katie is also a cofounder of Serafina, a quartet dedicated to performing the work of early women musicians and composers. This project inspired her to pursue a degree at CWRU, where she studies the musical culture of 17th-century convents. Katie currently serves as the Vice President of Musicology for the Music Graduate Student Association (MGSA).
