Kate
St-Pierre is most recognized for her versatility, be it in
her voice or her character work. Vocally she is renowned for her
ethnic qualities, her throaty grunge-like belt into a pure operatic
tone and her passionate phrasing.
Kate has recorded works for multiple film scores and soundtracks.
Recent releases include the soundtrack by Benoit Jutras (Cirque
du Soleil, Journey of Man) for the new Franco Dragone (Cirque
du Soleil, Celine New Day) show “Le Reve” at the Wynn
hotel, featured vocal soloist for the Middle Eastern and World
Music group Solace, 2005 release, “Balance,” guest soloist
on Jon Anderson’s (Yes) highly anticipated album project,
“In Elven Lands.” Kate’s voice can also be heard
on the soundtrack for acts of many former Cirque du Soleil artists
including the Steben Twins. Her unique, versatile and supple voice
accents the artist’s already dynamic performance. Kate's
voice was also featured on the 2004 Drama Desk Award Nominated
Music for the theatrical show “Ramayana 2K3.”
Her striking stage presence, perhaps due to her years as a professional
stage actress, heightens any live performance.
Ms. St-Pierre has worked with many projects. Prominent groups
are “Shaman’s Dream World Groove Ensemble” and
“Zen Dancing” an eclectic group of world class musicians
from diverse musical backgrounds, “Cat on the Roof,”
violin, dijeridoo, percussion, and voice, “Healer,”
band with White Zombie drummer Ivan De Prune and the Los Angeles
Opera as Assist. Director and Character / Singer for the 2004
- 2005 Outreach Program.
Kate has also taught /coached character development to many professional
actors, gymnasts, aerialists and dancers. Kate studied North Indian
voice with Lakshmi Shankar, Opera Studies with Dr. Kevin St. Clair,
USC and Joselyn Fleury, Concordia University, Montreal. Opera,
