She is a 2014 Borletti Buitoni Trust Special Award winner, a 2013 Sky Arts/Ideas Tap Futures Fund Award Winner, and is currently Music Fellow at Rambert Dance Company. “A generation tainted by nothing except enthusiasm, daring, virtuosity and idealism is blazing onto the scene … Kate Whitley is typical of this bold new breed” (The Times, 2011).
