about
1) Katie Holmes is a young classical guitarist from Alabama. She is currently studying under Dr. Andrew Zohn of Columbus State University, pursuing a degree in guitar performance as a Woodruff Artist, and Honors student, at the Schwob School of Music. To Katie, music is elemental – it was a constant in her first few years. Katie was four when her grandmother began guitar lessons. Charmed by this new voice, Katie soon had the lessons for herself, and an intense bond with the guitar began. She gave her first solo recital in Spokane, Washington – on guitar and piano – at age five. Within a year she received her first grant for talent; within the next the sound of her guitar first appeared on radio. Soon after moving to Alabama she was invited to play with the Montgomery Symphony Orchestra, marking her first performance with orchestra at the age of seven. Since then Ms. Holmes has participated in numerous guitar festivals around the Southeast, winning competitions at East Carolina State University, Columbus State University, and MusicFest NorthWest (in Spokane, Washington) and placing highly in middle- and high-school level competitions at Georgia College & State University, Appalachian State University, and in the YoungArts National Competition. She has been a featured performer at the Tennessee State University Guitar Festival multiple times. Ms. Holmes has given solo performances in concert halls, theaters and auditoriums, art galleries and museums, care facilities
