Kate Bennett Haynes is a
cellist devoted to historical performance of all periods. With baroque
ensembles such as Arion, Tafelmusik, B’Rock, Apollo’s Fire, Aradia,
Clarion, Masques, and the Theatre of Early Music, she has appeared at
festivals throughout North America and Europe and recorded for the
Naxos, ATMA, Artemis/Vanguard, and early-music.com labels. This season,
Kate began a six-year cycle of the complete Bach cello suites for the
Toronto Music Garden concert series.
Kate has a special passion
for classical and romantic performance practice, which she has explored
as both recitalist and chamber musician. As a member of the Rosetta
String Trio, she toured in the US and Canada, presenting newly
commissioned works in dialogue with older forms and styles from the
16th through the 20th centuries.
Kate studied modern cello with
Laurence Lesser at the New England Conservatory and baroque cello with
Jaap ter Linden at the Royal Dutch Conservatory in the Hague, after
completing a bachelor’s degree in Scandinavian studies at Harvard
College. She is currently pursuing a DMus in 19th-century performance
practice at McGill University in Montreal.
