Kathie Sharp |
Kathie’s love for music began at age 5 and continued through college where she received a University of Washington BA degree in Music. She began her piano teaching career in Edmonds, WA and later had a studio in Packwood, WA. While living in Packwood, Kathie realized there were no existing musical opportunities within a 76-mile radius so she approached the Lewis County Arts Commission and White Pass Company about establishing a Summer Chamber Music Series. Kathie is the founder and was the Music Director of Parnassus Summer Music Series located in the Cascade Mountains. |
