Katrina is a full-time violist in the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra.
As a native of Langley, BC, Katrina originally began her musical education on the violin at age four. She studied violin for almost two decades, achieving a diploma from the Conservatoire Darius Milhaud in France, followed by a Bachelor’s of Music from Wilfrid Laurier University (studying with Jerzy Kapłanek).
Katrina then made the switch to viola, and completed her Master’s degree at McGill University under the direction of André Roy.
Before joining the VSO, Katrina also enjoyed many years of orchestral freelancing, performing with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, Toronto Symphony Orchestra, National Ballet of Canada, and Canadian Opera Company.
Katrina is now happy to call Vancouver her home. When not on stage, Ms. Chitty serves as a Second Lieutenant in the Canadian Armed Forces.
