Ms. Lorts, being in your orchestra had an incredibly important and positive impact on my life. Although it may not have been apparent at the time, :), I was listening and learning and took away many lessons that still impact me today. Thank you for your incredible dedication to music and young people. Enjoy your retirement! Best wishes, Uri Abt (‘98).

Congratulations Katie!  I know you have had a very positive influence on the music program and will be missed by your students and all the faculty and staff.  Thank you for all you did for the music students and for sharing the virtual concerts and performances this year as difficult as it must have been to pull together.  Enjoy spending more time with your wonderful family!

Katie you had such an impact on so many kids at Cranbrook. I watched my kids concerts starting in Brookside, through the middle school (remember the DELS?) to the high school; you were there to help all the student musicians grow their musical talents, cheer on their accomplishments and growth. You will truly be missed, I’m glad you waited to retire until my kids graduated!  Wishing you much happiness in the next chapter.  Laurie Frankel K79, POG ‘19 & ‘20
