Katie joined Spivey Hall as its third Executive and Artistic Director in February of 2022. Together with Clayton State University President Dr. Ramon Stuart, the Walter and Emilie Spivey Foundation Board of Trustees, and Spivey Hall Friends, she will carry forward Spivey Hall’s thirty-year legacy of artistic excellence and international acclaim in a world-class venue, with stellar educational opportunities and community building across campus and beyond.

Katie comes to Spivey Hall from the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, where she served as Interim Artistic Manager for the 2021 return to live concerts. Previously, she served as Executive Director of the Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra, where she expanded the season and restored the orchestra’s financial health. Her work to commission new music, develop digital initiatives, and expand access and educational programs led to grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the League of American Orchestras/Getty Foundation. She also served on the faculty of the University of Colorado-Boulder, teaching in the Entrepreneurship Center of the College of Music.
