Harpsichordist Kathleen McIntosh has traveled widely, performing with such groups as the Chamber Orchestra Kremlin in Moscow, the Vietnam National Symphony in Hanoi and the New American Chamber Orchestra in Spain.  She has played in the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival since 1996 and in the Bravo! Vail Valley Festival since 1999.  She appears frequently with chamber groups, chamber orchestras and as a soloist throughout the western United States.  A resident of Santa Fe, New Mexico, she performs with Serenata de Santa Fe, Santa Fe Pro Musica, Taos Chamber Music Group and many other New Mexico-based groups.

An enthusiastic proponent of contemporary music, she is half of the McFish Duo, which commissions new works for viola and harpsichord.  McFish has premiered works by John Steinmetz, Beth Anderson, Arne Egilsson, Nicholas Chase, Anna Rubin, Glen Roven and Will Averitt.  The Bravo! Festival commissioned a work by Melinda Wagner for harpsichord and strings with McIntosh in mind.

Kathleen McIntosh has been a featured performer in festivals abroad, including repeated appearances in Havana in the Esteban Salas Festival, the Deya’ Festival in Mallorca, the Tsuyama International Festival and Festival Internacional de Musica Antiqua in Lima (with baroque violinist Stephen Redfield).  Redfield and McIntosh return to Lima in May 2011.  She has recorded for Gasparo and Maricam Studios.

The Los Angeles Reader wrote of her performance of J.S. Bach’s “Goldberg Variations” that “her nearly flawless technique” and “understated eloquence…produced revelatory results.”  Of her recording of the complete keyboard works of Boismortier, Continuo magazine said, “A breathtakingly beautiful performance.”  Ms. McIntosh performs on instruments by John Phillips.
