VoxLAB is a nonprofit, artist-driven organization committed to promoting newly written vocal repertoire and music-dramatic works. We offer public concerts, workshops, seminars, practical research, and networking opportunities. Founded in 2014, VoxLAB aims to develop new vocal repertoire and foster an intergenerational, interdisciplinary community for composers, vocalists, lyricists, and other performing artists. Our members are dedicated to exploring vocal techniques from diverse traditions.

 

Development of vocal and improvisational skills and vocal composition is central to VoxLAB. We have held improvisation workshops with distinguished experimental composers such as Phil Minton, Pauline Oliveros, Pamela Z, Franziska Bauman, Limpe Fuchs, and workshops in vocal techniques such as overtone singing, Sami Joik, and the Luo Vocal techniques of Kenya. We have held the summer workshops “#OccupyOpera” in new opera and group composition for young people from diverse backgrounds, and workshops for voice and technology, including real-time sampling and live audio processing.
