Kate Moody: pianist, composer, teacher, conductor
Melodic and harmonic music that uplifts the spirit.

Kate studied piano performance at Sonoma State University before going on to graduate work in composition at the New England Conservatory. Kate continues to be actively involved in music education as a teacher of piano, composition, and general music studies at her Agate Pass Music Studio Topanga, California.

Kate's current releases are "Welcome to Piania,"a collection of favorite original piano pieces, soothing and sublime, "The Seeker," an album of orchestral music recorded at Capitol Studios, Hollywood, "Grateful Heart," Contemporary Instrumental music, and, in Fall 2007, "inscapes," solo piano depictions of inner landscapes.

"(Angels & Eskimos) and its performance are thrilling with the deep logic of Soul. This is one of the nicest things I've heard in a long time." - Steve Goodale, goldrecord.com

"Just wanted to drop Kate Moody a note and let her know how much the listeners at Classical Faire have enjoyed the music from The Seeker." - KEDT/KVRT
