Karin has organised a number of residencies in bars, independent events and cabaret performances around Dunedin playing with a variety of jazz musicians including, Trevor Coleman, Nick Cornish, Bill Martin, Calder Prescott, Nathan Berg, Craig Sinclair and Edwina Thorne. Highlights include performing at the 2014 Queenstown JazzFest and 2012 Dunedin Arts Festival.
Involved in the performing arts scene in New Zealand since moving to Dunedin from the UK in 1995.
