Her specialization in the analysis of Gregorian chant, and Early Music more broadly, has led to her involvement in international projects that dismantle the traditional boundaries of music and technology and resulted in articles in journals such as Plainsong and Medieval Music, Acta Musicologica, and Early Music. Her research interests include early notations, the structural analysis of chant, melodic encodings, and obsessing over gorgeous manuscripts. Kate sings professionally with the Tafelmusik Chamber Choir and leads the vocal component of the Early Music Studio at Western.
