Kate
Bennett Haynes studied modern cello with Laurence Lesser at the New
England Conservatory and baroque cello with Jaap ter Linden at the
Royal Dutch Conservatory in the Hague, after completing a
bachelor’s degree in Scandinavian studies at Harvard College.
She now enjoys an international musical life dedicated to historical
performance of all periods. She has toured in North America and Europe
with baroque orchestras such as Tafelmusik and B’Rock, and
she has recorded for the Naxos, ATMA, Artemis/Vanguard, and Early-Music
labels with ensembles such as Arion, Aradia, Tempo Rubato, and the
Toronto Chamber Orchestra.
As a chamber musician on both modern and period instruments, Kate has
performed at festivals such as Yellow Barn, Sarasota, Taos and Norfolk,
and in collaboration with a wide range of musicians, among them Eric
Hoeprich, Donald Weilerstein, Anthony Marwood, Bobby McFerrin and the
Ying Quartet. Kate has a special passion for classical and romantic
performance practice, which she has pursued as a founding member of
Boston Hausmusik, the Arcturus Chamber Ensemble, and the newly formed Sanssouci Quartet. She has also recently
joined forces with Amsterdam-based fortepianist Yi-heng Yang to explore
the rich cello and keyboard sonata repertoire of the late 18th and
early 19th centuries. She lives in Toronto, Canada.
