Kate Reinhard grew up in Indiana, where she fostered a strong musical foundation through piano and oboe lessons. She attended the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University and earned a Bachelor of Music Education degree in 2019. She went on to play the oboe in theater pits, sing in church choirs, and teach elementary and middle school music.

In May of 2025, Kate graduated from Westminster Choir College, part of Rider University, in Lawrenceville, New Jersey, with a Master of Music degree in Choral Conducting. She studied classical voice with Todd Thomas and conducting with Steve Pilkington and Donald Nally.

In her free time, Kate enjoys going to group fitness classes, listening to Ascension podcasts, and finding great restaurant spots. She is looking forward to meeting everyone in the St. John Parish and our Parish Family, and making great music together!
