About Caterina
Caterina Lichtenberg has dedicated her life to studying the history, techniques and repertoire of the great mandolin virtuosos of the past. For over 20 years she has been an ambassador for classical mandolin; recording, teaching and touring throughout the world. Since 2007 she has held the only professor position for mandolin in the world at the prestigious Music Conservatory in Cologne, Germany.
To date Caterina Lichtenberg has released 10 CDs under her own leadership in a variety of chamber music settings. As a specialist on early period instruments, Caterina was once invited to record on a 1775 mandolin from the Ferdinandeum Museum in Austria. She has also performed as a featured soloist with many world renowned musicians at festivals and concert halls worldwide.
Her partnership with ArtistWorks marks a historic moment for the genre, as this is the most comprehensive classical mandolin curriculum ever created. The lessons cover all important playing techniques as well as full breakdowns of important pieces from the Baroque and Classical masters Dowland, Bach, Vivaldi, Leone, Denis, Fouchetti and Beethoven, to the Romantic masters Cristofaro, Pettine, Ranieri, Branzoli and Calace.
