Bio

Katri Porkka (b.1991) is from Finland. She ­started ­playing the clarinet at the age of 9 in the local music school in her home town Oulainen. After high school she studied Music Pedagogy, clarinet as her main ­instrument, in the University of ­Applied ­sciences in ­Tampere with the teacher Pekka Ahonen. In 2014 she graduated as a Bachelor of ­Music ­Pedagogy and started to work as a clarinet ­teacher in various music schools. In 2017 she was ­accepted into the University of Bergen to study with the ­Principal Clarinetist of the Bergen ­Philharmonic orchestra, ­Christian Stene. During her Master studies she spent one semester in the Zürich University of the Arts ­studying in the ­clarinet class of Fabio di Casola. For Katri, the best part of being a musician is to get to play together with others and to create ­miraculous worlds through music. Chamber music is very close to her heart and for that reason on the stage tonight you will see many friends performing alongside with her.
