The Great Kat’s NEW BEETHOVEN’S “EROICA SYMPHONY for GUITAR And SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA” is the NEW SINGLE, featuring Great Kat’s blistering Guitar AND Violin shredding with Symphony Orchestra on Beethoven’s famous 3rd Symphony! This masterpiece which actually was originally dedicated to Napoleon, whom Beethoven believed was a democratic leader attempting to rid France of the monarchy for working class equality during the French Revolution. When Beethoven discovered that Napoleon crowned himself Emperor of France in 1804, Beethoven was furious and maniacally tore his “Bonaparte” title dedication page from Beethoven’s Symphony #3 and changed the symphony’s title to “Eroica” (“Heroic”) Symphony!

4. How do you adjust yourself to the current situation with the Covid-19 affecting the US music industry?

The Great Kat is the ONLY GUITAR/VIOLIN DOUBLE VIRTUOSO and REINCARNATION of BEETHOVEN who is a creating HISTORICAL MASTERPIECES that are MEANT to LAST CENTURIES alongside BEETHOVEN, MOZART, BACH and other geniuses. I’m in the RECORDING/FILM STUDIO 24 hours a DAY, so the current situation does not affect me!!!!!

5. Do you think that symphonic music still has a place in the heart of the metal fans?

Symphonic Music GENIUS, Ludwig van BEETHOVEN, was the FIRST REAL METALHEAD, and THE GREAT KAT is the REINCARNATION of BEETHOVEN, so therefore symphonic music will ALWAYS have a place in the heart of the metal fans!!!!
