Kitty Brazelton

For NYC composer, bandleader, and multi-instrumentalist Kitty Brazelton, music is personal, and the personal is universal. Brazelton confronts tech-world invisibility with LA-based Isaura String Quartet in The Planes of Your Location (why are you here?). She champions music’s power to unite—across genre, tradition, language with award-winning opera The Art of Memory and the 700-year-old message “now is all there is.”
