Parnassus Recordings has issued its Kokopeli
CD, featuring Katherine Hoover as flutist and composer,
with music by Pleyel, Mozart, J. C. Bach, Bizet, and
Berlioz, as well as her own works (see Recordings).
She was a featured part of the California Summer Arts
program, giving three days of master classes and preparing
her Kyrie for performance. At Kean College, in
New Jersey, she was a guest of the Ars Vitalis series.
The Seattle Times called her String Quartet "a
very visual piece filled with drama and originality
. . . gorgeous."
