Electric
violinist, Cathy Morris has a passion for sharing music
with audiences of all ages and everyone can tell! Her infectious enthusiasm
and light hearted approach prevails in all of her musical endeavors;
performances, recordings and educational programming alike. She has
four recordings of original music and a holiday CD all of which exhibit
the variety of styles and endless boundaries of musical adventures one
can take with Cathy. A regular on concert stages, at clubs and summer
festivals it is her educational commitment that puts her in front of
thousands of children each year performing convocations, conducting
workshops, residencies and clinics and guest appearing with student
and community orchestras playing her arranged originals. Currently,
after over a decade of focusing on all original music, Cathy is adding
to her expertise (and library of recordings) her interpretation of the
latin jazz of Tania Maria, Airto, Djavan and others.

you were to take a combination of exuberance and enthusiasm, toss
in an uncanny ability to communicate verbally and musically and spice
it up with some rosin and a bow you would wind up with Cathy Morris."

this group has broad appeal and is firmly entrenched in the current mode
of contemporary jazz. Two well-received CDs, plus strong players that interact
well, have earned Cathy Morris and Collage the mantle of Indy's most popular
contemporary jazz group. |
