Bronn & Katherine Journey

Bronn & Katherine Journey的艺人档案

Over thirty years ago, a volunteer with the Seattle Public Schools placed a harp in Bronn’s hands for the first time and began teaching the 11 year old boy how to play. He advanced rapidly, and soon moved on to study with harpist Edith Lundgren. By the time he was 16, he was performing professionally in fine hotels and restaurants in the Seattle area.

After high school, Bronn was accepted to the School of Music at the University of Washington where he received instruction from Pamela Vokelek. He graduated with a Bachelor of Music degree in 1985.

Today, Bronn’s musical accomplishments are known and appreciated throughout Washington State and the Northwest. His amazing versatility and humorous approach to a seriously classical instrument have made him a favorite with concert goers. “Because of the experience of playing in a variety of settings, I am very comfortable playing in many different styles,” comments Bronn, and his concert selections range from classical to Broadway to hymns. Bronn has even played the National Anthem at Seattle Seahawk and Sonics games!

Katherine Journey (soprano), a native of Calgary, Alberta, began her musical training at age 8 with piano lessons after school. She continued taking lessons through high school and college, graduating from Dordt College in Iowa with a degree in Music Education in 1982. Although piano was her primary instrument, Katherine always loved to sing in choirs and small ensembles.

Katherine’s solo voice training began in 1984, when she auditioned for and received the opportunity to study voice at the Music School at Arizona State University. She studied under Darlene Kliewer and graduated in 1987 with a Masters degree in Vocal Performance.

Nineteen albums are currently available on the Journey’s own label, “Phileo Music”. They are sold in fine gift shops across the U.S. and Canada, and all over the world through his website, www.bronnjourney.com, and at Apple Computer’s iTunes & other digital music stores.

Bronn and Katherine’s annual Christmas concerts have become a Pacific Northwest institution. In 2001, a concert was filmed of one of these concerts, and is available on DVD-Video or VHS.

In 2006 & 2007 the Journey’s performed in 21 different states, from Florida to Washington; Maine to California.
