Hailing from Canada’s Capital region, Loop pedal violist, composer, and arranger Kathryn Patricia Cobbler has crafted a singular niche in improvisation and classical performance. She obsesses over creating uniquely arresting soundscapes, whether in solo recitals, composing for theatre, performing in site specific art installations, and more. A recipient of one of Ottawa Arts Council’s Emerging Artist awards, she has been featured in Canada’s capital region’s most notable Concert Series, including Chamberfest, Music & Beyond, and Ottawa New Music Creators’ Analogue Series to name a few. As a seasoned workshop facilitator and educator, Kathryn is proud to be a performance instructor at Carleton University, ​and on the ​MASC Artist roster​. Kathryn is also a teaching artist with the National Arts Centre. Most recently Kathryn Patricia was artist -in- residence with the Ottawa Dance Directive composing and collaborating for the premiere of Dream & True North envisioned and choreographed by Elizabeth Emond-Stevenson. After switching to music as her artistic path from visual arts, she would receive degrees in viola performance from Western University B.M. and the University of Ottawa M.M. A native of Windsor, Ontario, she makes her home in Ottawa. She performs on a viola by luthier, Sibylle Ruppert and a Boss RC-30 loop pedal.
