Cathy Berberian: Pioneer of Contemporary Vocality - Karantonis, Pamela a Placanica, Francesca a Verstraete, Pieter

Cathy Berberian (1925-1983) was a vocal performance artist, singer and composer who pioneered a way of composing with (and listening to) the voice in the musical worlds of Europe, North America and beyond. As a modernist muse for many avant-garde composers, she went on to embody the principles of postmodern thinking in her work.
