Tapestry was founded by Cristi Catt and Daniela Tosic with Laurie Monahan (emerita) to create bold, conceptual programs that travel through time weaving together a diverse range of genres and colors. The Cleveland Plain Dealer describes Tapestry as "an ensemble that plants haunting vibrations, old and new, in our ears." Tapestry has toured extensively in Europe and the US, and also appeared in Colombia and Canada. Tapestry recorded four albums with Telarc International (now Concord Music) and two with a German label MDG. Their recordings won the Echo Price in Germany, and Chamber Music America recording of the year. Tapestry is represented by Shupp Artists Management. This is their first indie album with New England Music & Stage Co. Ltd. / NEMS Co. Ltd.

This led to research grants to Portugal and Southern France and performances with Telltale Crossing, Le Bon Vent, and HourGlass. With Blue Thread, she traces shared stories and ballad migration from around the world to tell new tales. The LA Times describes her singing “as radiant and exciting.” Cristi is the author of The Kinesthetic Singer, Lessons on Singing from Yoga and Basketball.

She teaches voice at Merrimack College.
