If you like your classical music at locomotive speed and Jimi Hendrix styled
sonic guitar, then take a listen to Juilliard rebel The Great Kat zip through
The Flight of the Bumble Bee, Bach's Brandenburg Concerto #3 and Paganini's
Caprice #24. It's worth considering using this music as cool entre into the
world of classical music for unsuspecting youths. Fast she is, wild she
is---catch your breath and spin a listen." -

more contemporary way. Over the top? You bet. 'Beethoven Shreds' shows a
nice equilibrium between skill, an adventurous approach and humour. And
I like that." - Peter Van Laarhoven,

HOUSTON PRESS INTERVIEW WITH THE GREAT KAT! "The Great Kat: From Juilliard To Shred Goddess"!
"Kat is a Juilliard-trained violinist who traded in the sedate world of classical performance to play the guitar just shy of the speed needed to go back in time. Kat forces these melodies through a black hole and back out again through in a white-hot stream of incredibly fine sound particles that ascend and descend so quickly and accurately that one could debate whether the interpretations are a performance or a weapon. For those who have thus far enjoyed the carnival ride of Beethoven Shreds should have no problem putting Kat's statue alongside the greats."
