A vocal virtuoso and sound artist whose presence looms large in the world of experimental music, Joan La Barbara began expanding the possibilities of the human voice in the ‘70s. From multiphonic singing to circular breathing techniques, she developed a whole new vocabulary of trills, whispers, cries and clicks. Often using electronic elements in her compositions, she has collaborated with a stunning array of orchestras and composers including Philip Glass, Steve Reich, John Cage and her husband Morton Subotnick. A television and film composer, actress, and educator, she’s currently on the Composition Faculty of NYU.

The Red Bull Music Academy is a global music institution committed to fostering creativity in music. We celebrate music, its culture, and the transformative minds behind it. Begun in 1998, the Academy has taken the core principles that underlie its annual workshop for selected participants and applied this curatorial approach to events, lectures, and city-wide festivals throughout the year.
