About Kiah
Kiah Abendroth is a third generation female trumpet player. She holds her Master’s Degree in Music from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, specializing in classical trumpet performance. Her instructors include renowned trumpeters Judith Saxton, David Washburn, and Dean Boysen (as well as her father, Roy Abendroth, and the inspiration of her mother and grandmother, Lori and Beverley). Although Kiah’s training is classical, she also enjoys playing free improvisation, jazz, world, reggae, sacred music, and more!
After completing her Master’s training, Kiah freelanced in New York City for three years. While she was there, she was the producer and soloist for a show at the Lincoln Center Institute entitled, “Introspection.” She performed as principal and section trumpet in various chamber orchestras, pit orchestras, and jazz ensembles and worked as a music educator for PreK - adult students. Kiah is a 2011-2012 Kenan Fellow with Lincoln Center Education, having completed a six-month long fellowship in arts education and imaginative learning.
Kiah Abendroth has performed and taught throughout New York City, Hawaii, California and North Carolina. To Kiah, music is uplifting and healing. It is her hope to create community through music, to bring us together, within ourselves and within our world.
Kiah is currently living on Kaua’i, where she is exploring creativity, songwriting, and cultivating community through the arts.
