Described as "Riveting" by Opera Canada, Kathleen Morrison has established herself as a powerful and versatile singer. With her rich soprano voice and dramatic portrayals, she has captivated audiences in Canada and Germany, where she has spent much of her career, primarily in Berlin. Previously known for her performances of the Dramatic Coloratura repertoire (including roles like Die Königin Der Nacht and Konstanze), Kathleen has since moved into the Full Lyric/Spinto repertoire (with roles like Violetta, Tosca, and Adrianna Lecouvreur). She also has an avid interest in the Lieder repertoire.

Kathleen has an impressive list of accomplishments under her belt. She was named a CTV Inspired Alberta in 2022, and was the 2016 Classical Music Representative for Calgary's Year of Music. She has performed the Canadian national anthem at the 10th Anniversary of the Canadian Embassy at Leipziger Platz in Berlin, and has been featured numerous times on Calgary's Music Mile, the National Arts Centre and performed at the historic King Eddy. She has also been nominated for a Calgary Award and the Avenue Top 40 Under 40.

In addition to her many accomplishments as a performer, Kathleen is also a successful vocal coach. She owns and runs the highly successful 'Voice by Kathleen' studio, where she coaches singers of all genres to sing with healthy technique, including classical, country, pop, rap, EDM, jazz, and more. Her singers have gone on to be cast in numerous productions by Theatre Calgary & Storybook Theatre, gained admittance into programs at Berklee College of Music, University of McGill, University of Toronto, Ryerson University, UBC, University of Calgary, American School of Music & Dance, Broadway Dance Centre - ISVP Professional Semester, and performed for the live auditions on America's Got Talent.
