Each spring for nearly 40 years, Krannert Center and the School of Music have together chosen an outstanding student through audition who is then presented in recital at Krannert Center with a full professional contract. The 2020 winner, Saori Kataoka, was unable to perform last year due to event cancellations related to the COVID-19 pandemic, so she and the 2021 winner, Andrew J. Buckley, will share the stage in this year’s virtual performance. The Krannert Center Debut Artist performance is specifically devoted to the presentation of emerging young artists, presenting the audience an opportunity to see history in the making.

Saori Kataoka, a native of Tokushima, Japan, is the first brass player to appear as a Krannert Center Debut Artist. Recently, she has been awarded Distinction in the Professional Wind Instrument Division at the Vienna International Music Competition and First Place at Charleston International Music Competition (South Carolina). During the summer of 2020, she performed remotely at the Festival of Young Artists Bayreuth (Germany) and Lake George Music Festival (New York). Kataoka serves as an adjunct instructional assistant professor of trumpet at Illinois State University and is pursuing her Master of Music in the jazz performance program at the University of Illinois with graduate minors in global studies and dance. She holds a Master of Music in trumpet performance from the University of Illinois and a Bachelor of Arts with a Certificate in Jazz Music from Campbellsville University (Kentucky).
