Kátia Santandreu

Kátia Santandreu is a violist whose performance appears on Stills (CS100), the Creative Sources recording by Ernesto Rodrigues's Variable Geometry Orchestra. The album brings together an expansive group of acoustic and electronic instruments in music developed through collective improvisation.

The viola contributes an expressive middle register and a variety of bowed, plucked and noise-oriented gestures. Within a large ensemble, these sounds can become part of shifting layers of texture rather than a conventional orchestral section. Stills confirms Santandreu's participation in this Lisbon project; independently verified details about her wider musical education and other recordings remain limited.
