Katherine Price (b. 1992) is an American composer of choral music, orchestral music, and chamber music. Price began composing as a child, writing down her compositions at age 13. Drawing influences from the Anglican Choral Tradition, European early music, American folk music, and holy minimalism, her compositions reflect the styles of such composers as Arvo Pärt, John Tavener, and Knut Nystedt. Though her roots are in sacred music, she draws thematic inspiration from movements for human and animal liberation, as well as natural phenomena. 

Price is a 2014 graduate of Indiana University South Bend with a degree in Music Composition. She has studied with Jorge Muñiz, John Mayrose, and Thom Limbert. Price has had her compositions performed throughout the United States by both amateur and professional musicians. In addition to composition, Price is an active performer in both large and chamber ensembles. She currently lives in Oregon with her spouse.

Orchestra
Eight exceptional composers, eight premiere recordings with a legendary orchestra, and one spectacular soloist: LONDON CELLO CONNECTION is a captivating compendium of contemporary compositions by celebrated cellist Ovidiu Marinescu and the London Symphony Orchestra with conductor Miran Vaupotić. Marinescu’s emotive, lush sound and superb technical command provides the continuous thread throughout the program, from the elegant “Sarabande” by Marvin Lamb to Arthur Gottschalk’s regal “Brunetti Meditations” to the shimmering, pulsing “Soul Dance” of Diane Jones, connecting and contrasting each of these works and others by John Robertson, Katherine Price, Joanna Estelle, L Peter Deutsch, and Keith Kramer. Recorded in June 2022 at the LSO’s St. Luke’s Church, the historic site on London’s Old Street which dates to 1733 and was restored to become home to the orchestra’s recording, community, and music education programs.
