Biography
Cellist Katinka Kleijn has been a member of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra since 1995. Her list of solo credits includes appearances with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at Youth Concerts; The Hague Philharmonic Orchestra; the Chicago Sinfonietta; the Symphony Orchestras of Richmond, Elmhurst, Sheboygan, DuPage and Indian Hill; the Highland Park Strings; and the Illinois Philharmonic.
Kleijn also appeared at the Marlboro Festival, on the Ravinia Festival's Rising Star Series, and on Dutch National Radio. An avid chamber musician, she has partnered with pianist Richard Goode, cellist Lynn Harrell, and the Chicago Chamber Musicians. She is a member of the new music group, ICE, with whom she will perform the US premiere of "Zona" by Magnus Lindberg at Mostly Mozart Festival at Lincoln Center in August 2006.
Her 2003 recording of the David Baker Cello Concerto, with the Chicago Sinfonietta on the Cedille label, won rave reviews. She also recorded the Dello Joio Trio for Boston Records. To seek support for her younger colleagues, Kleijn founded the Holland-America Music Society in 1999, and in 2000, launched an annual string competition distinguished by its first prize award—the full time use of a fine contemporary Dutch instrument. Kleijn has been a member of the DePaul University School of Music faculty since 2000. After winning the Dutch Princess Christina Competition at age 16, Kleijn studied with Laurence Lesser and Lynn Harrell before joining the Chicago Symphony.
