Kate Lucander

Kate Lucander is a soprano recently relocated to Naples, Florida. Specializing in baroque and new works, Kate is passionate about bringing lesser known composers to the forefront of recognition. As a co-founder of the vocal quartet Serafina, she furthers this mission by performing works of early female composers. They have appeared as season openers of the SoHIP Boston concert series and Christ Church Cranbrook concert series. Since moving to Naples, she has worked with the Nautilus Chamber Ensemble to enhance the local visibility of 21st century composers, in particular those with Latin American roots. Prior to her move, Kate worked actively in Detroit as a professional choral singer and oratorio soloist. She has recently appeared as an artist with Seraphic Fire, Audivi, the choir of Christ Church Grosse Pointe, Choral Artists of Michigan, and Choral Artistry of Southwest Florida. Recent solo engagements include Bach’s St John Passion, Carissimi’s Jephte, and Handel’s Messiah. An avid traveller, Kate has sung across Europe with professional choirs, ranging from a residency at Westminster Abbey to the International Music Festival in Granada, Spain. When not singing, Kate works full time as a software consultant for Somerset CPAs, and can otherwise be found cooking, hiking, or spending time with her rescue dog, Nickel.
