About Katie
In 2017, Katie Harman began a search for the works and stories of hidden female composers. As she scaled mountains of research - all while heavily pursuing her own professional journey as a musician - she noticed patterns of struggle among female creatives throughout history and across genres. The stories of secret (and some not-so-secret) societies that emerged from shared struggle was a lightening rod, and Katie wondered: does a platform exist to draw modern creatives together to network and foster collaboration, furthering purpose-driven work across creative industry?
Thus Virtuosa Society was born in 2020, at the height of a global pandemic, in the throes of immense social change, and as an answer to Katie's wonderings.
Today, Virtuosa Society is a membership collective that offers professional and personal support to female creatives across genres and levels of experience. Membership supports connection, mentorship and collaboration thus fostering and championing purpose-filled contributions to art, society and humanity.
