Kate Soper is a composer, performer, and writer whose work explores the integration of drama and rhetoric into musical structure, the slippery continuums of expressivity, intelligibility and sense, and the wonderfully treacherous landscape of the human voice.


Excerpt from "Missing Scenes"


A Rome Prize fellow and Pulitzer Prize finalist, Kate was recently described as "one of the great originals of her generation" by the New Yorker. As a performer, she has been praised as a "dazzling vocalist" (New Yorker) and likened to "Lucille Ball reinterpreted by Linda Blair" (Pitchfork Magazine).
