Catherine Turner is the Principal Horn of the Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal (OSM). Her solo playing on their 2024 recording of Ein Heldenleben (Pentatone) was described by Classical Explorer as “simply stunning…her control over her instrument is total.” Before her appointment as Principal Horn in 2022, she held the position of Second Horn in the OSM since 2010.

Catherine has also performed as principal horn with the Baltimore Symphony (2021-22) and Colorado Music Festival (2015-23) and as guest principal horn with the New York Philharmonic, Detroit Symphony, National Arts Center Orchestra, Manitoba Chamber Orchestra, and Les Violons du Roy.

As a soloist, she has been featured with the Colorado Music Festival Orchestra and the Aspen Music Festival Orchestra, and has given solo recitals at the University of Ottawa, Colorado State University, and University of Akron. As an educator, Catherine has presented masterclasses throughout North America, and she is currently an instructor of horn at McGill University.
