Background

Catherine (Kate) Redmayne (1825-1869) was a musician and music teacher who was known as the first female to make a livelihood from giving piano concerts throughout the southern region of New Zealand. She travelled through difficult terrain to perform from her Dunedin base during the late 1850s and early 1860s. She composed several works and had four poems published in the Otago Calendar. After a visit to England in 1864, she returned to perform in the North Island and top of the South Island before settling on the West Coast where she died in childbirth in 1869.
