Catherine Torrens
Catherine hails from Northern Ireland but has been in Scotland for over 5 years, studying at St Andrews before moving to Glasgow to work with UCCF as a Relay Worker, and then as a CU staff worker with the Christian Unions at Glasgow School of Art and the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
Although she didn’t study music at university, she has been carrying her flute around with her since she was 8 and has always enjoyed playing in church and orchestras, and having a go at Irish trad music. During her time at university, she also loved studying the ways in which music has been used among God’s people throughout the ages to communicate and understand the gospel. Having studied in a competitive environment and having worked with RCS CU as a Relay worker, she knows a little of the relentless pressure to prove oneself to be 'enough' through one's craft. She loves getting to support students at the RCS as they navigate what it looks like to be a musician/dancer/filmmaker who lives distinctively for Jesus and invites others to explore the freedom that comes with God’s grace.
As well as this she loves painting, pretending she’s a runner, and listening to little-known American indie bands who sing about CS Lewis.
