However, she equally enjoys performing in church settings or on intimate chamber music stages.
Kathrin has become particularly fond of art singing in all its forms and often attracted attention for using her voice in unconventional ways. Her strong passion for innovative concert concepts and artistic expression is particularly blossoming in collaboration with pianist Oskar Ekberg. Together they formDuo Lorenzen-Ekberg, a prize winning Lied-duo that is trying to revolutionize the art song.
