Kathryn Lockwood
Violist Kathryn Lockwood, originally from Down Under, leads an active career as Musician, Educator and Artistic Director. She initially traveled to the US 30+ years ago to study for one year in Los Angeles at USC! Her childhood dream to be a chamber musician came true first as the violist of Pacifica Quartet, then the Lark Quartet, and now the very unique viola and percussion duo with her husband, Yousif Sheronick. Since 2019 Kathryn has kept busy as artistic director of the Four Seasons in Music concert series at the Sands Point Preserve, Long Island, NY, where duoJalal is in residence. Alongside Yousif, she has been co-artistic director since 2022 of MusicFest, a summer festival of the Telluride Chamber Music Association in CO, where each unique program featuring “duoJalal and Friends”, revolves around themes and receptions at 10,000 feet in a beautifully restored barn. Kathryn is tenured faculty at the John Cali School of Music at Montclair State University, where she not only teaches and coordinates the string area, but is also the Curator of the Immersive Residency Program at Montclair State University, overseeing weeklong residency visits of internationally renowned artists and groups.
