(Art) Song Lab

Where Poets Composers & Poets Come Together

Karen Goldfeder

Karen Goldfeder writes music and sings. Career highlights thus far: international touring and recording with Gregg Smith Singers, New York Virtuoso Singers, Bobby McFerrin’s Vocabularies Project; choral premieres by New York Treble Singers, Eastman Chorale, and Artek; scores for the short films Letters Home and 256,000 Miles from Home and for the feature Ex Libris (in progress); graduating from Eastman’s Beal Institute in 2023. Her work reflects her fascination with the human condition and the influences encountered in her eclectic performing career: Stravinsky and Strayhorn, Mahler and Machaut and (Joni) Mitchell. Like all inhabitants of our contemporary world, she strives to weave a fabric from disparate threads.

(Art) Song Lab was created and takes place on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səl̓ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations.
