Featured Artists
Members of the Los Angeles Philharmonic
CATHERINE RANSOM KAROLY joined the Los Angeles Philharmonic as second flutist in May 1996, and was appointed Associate Principal Flute in March 2009. In October 2000, she made her solo debut with Esa-Pekka Salonen in Ibert’s Flute Concerto. Before coming to Los Angeles, Karoly spent three seasons in the New World Symphony in Miami, under music director Michael Tilson Thomas. As a member of the award-winning Dorian Wind Quintet, she appeared regularly on chamber music series throughout the United States. Recently, she released a CD of flute and piano music titled “French Inspirations.” Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Karoly received a Master of Music degree from the Juilliard School. She graduated from the University of Wisconsin with Phi Beta Kappa honors and was the recipient of a Fulbright Grant to England. She is married to LA Phil cellist, Jonathan Karoly; they are the parents of three children.
JOANNE PEARCE MARTIN was appointed in 2001 as the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s keyboardist. She is a graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music, and has been guest soloist with many orchestras. In great demand as a collaborative artist, she has performed with such artists as Joshua Bell, Lynn Harrell, James Galway, Jean-Pierre Rampal, Julius Baker, and Joseph Silverstein. She has performed at many summer music festivals and concert series. This season, she and her husband, Gavin Martin, have concertized together internationally as a two-piano team. Her playing has been described by the LA Times as possessing “unusual fervor and fluency” and “stirring virtuosity.” Her CD entitled “Barefoot,” was released to critical acclaim. When she’s not making music, you might find Joanne up in the air – she is an instrument-rated airplane pilot and master-rated skydiver.
