Katinka’s work is grounded in an extensive voice training, a primary source for exploring new hybrids of compositional and performative territories.

Working within the scene of contemporary classical music and opera, Katinka has been premiering a string of new works by Danish composers such as Den Sidste Olie by Niels Rønsholdt & OPEN, One World Above another Below by Lil Lacy, HIMMEL by Line Tjørnhøj, Stille Slag by Louise Alenius, Dyrets år – 1666 by John Frandsen, Liquid Rooms by Karsten Fundal and ongoing collabs with composer Signe Lykke, with whom she has founded Motherboard a company of interdisciplinary artists, who co-creates a new opera trilogy from a poetic, documentary and bodily starting point.

In 2021 Katinka received the prestigious Léonie Sonning Talent Prize.

In March 2026 Katinka premiered ‘Earth Elegies’ – an interdisciplinary performance concert and a suite in 18 parts at The Glyptotek in Copenhagen.

Based on poet Sofie Isager Ahl’s newly release, ‘Earth Elegies’ was initiated and composed by Katinka and performed and sung with 70 singers from Copenhagen Girls’ Choir, a string trio and staged in collaboration with choreographer Marie Topp The performance concert, which reinterprets the classic myth of Persephone and equates the labor of childbirth with the regeneration of nature was produced by Kind of Opera.

Katinka’s voice composition, Moonologue, was created in collaboration with visual artist Marie Kølbæk Iversen and features countertenor Morten Grove Frandsen and Vindelev herself. It was a commission from LOUISIANA – Museum of Modern Art and was performed at The Moon exhibition there. Subsequently Moonologue was released on the Danish label Antipyrine.

In 2020 she and Danish violinist Louise Gorm founded the duo KFVLG. Besides from performing the monumental “Kafka Fragmente” by Kurtág, KFVLG has produced and directed a new performative music documentary Gone is Nowhere / Væk er ingen steder / Ոչ մէկ տեղ գնաց, which includes three new fragtment compositions by Danish composer Line Tjørnhøj. The work was premiered at CPH:DOX in spring 2025.
