Violist Kallie Sugatski performs regularly with Pittsburgh Symphony, New York City Ballet, International Contemporary Ensemble, New Jersey Symphony, and on Broadway. In response to the pandemic, Kallie is organizing/curating outdoor distanced concerts centered around queer and composers of color for her newest project Vigorous Tenderness. A catalyst for radical change in the arts, Vigorous Tenderness presents relevant, powerful concert experiences that respond to immediate social, political, and environmental circumstances. These experimental performances resemble an art museum experience, with chamber music ensembles spread across the landscape while the audience forges a self-curated path through the installation. She will spend her 2021-2022 season as a section violist with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.
