Catherine Kautsky
is Chair of Keyboard at Lawrence University. She has been lauded by the New York Times as "a pianist who can play Mozart and Schubert as though their sentiments and habits of speech coincided exactly with hers ... The music spoke directly to the listener, with neither obfuscation nor pretense." Her students have won prizes across the country and gone on to leading graduate programs. Dr. Kautsky has taught at Lawrence University Conservatory of Music since 1987, with a 6-year hiatus as piano faculty and chair of the Keyboard Department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Known for her cross disciplinary interests, she was awarded the Arts Institute Creative Arts Award at UW-Madison and has presented frequently at national conferences on such topics as "On the Trail of Chopin and George Sand", "WWI: A Centenary Look at the Musical Wars", and "Celebrating Debussy and the Arts du Spectacle". Her book Debussy's Paris: Piano Portraits of the Belle Epoque was published by Rowman & Littlefield in September 2017. Dr. Kautsky is deeply concerned with the role music plays in society. She just released a 24 video set "Great Works for the Piano" for Great Courses/Wondrium: https://www.thegreatcourses.com/courses/great-piano-works-explained .
