Solar Myth
Co-presented with Ars Nova Workshop.
Charged, haunting, genre-defying music exploring themes of vulnerability and healing.
Holland Andrews is a vocalist, composer, producer, and performer whose work focuses on the abstraction of operatic and extended-technique voice to build cathartic and dissonant soundscapes. In a two-night engagement at Solar Myth, they will perform their original compositions for voice, clarinet, and electronics.
Andrews’ influences stem from a dynamic range including contemporary opera, theater, and jazz. An artist in this year’s Whitney Biennial, Andrews composes and performs for dance, theater, and film. They have collaborated with artists including Bill T. Jones, Dorothee Munyaneza, and Will Rawls.
“Andrews is known for their soaring, soul- touching vocal abilities, and their music ranges from delicate piano compositions to distorted noise tracks, and everything else in between.” – Composer Magazine
