Amanda DeBoer Bartlett, DMA is a soprano, improviser, composer, and organizer specializing in contemporary classical music. She is the founder of Quince Ensemble, an all-women contemporary vocal group, and Hasco Duo, an experimental improvisation and songwriting project.
She is also a member of and program curator for Ensemble Dal Niente, a Chicago-based chamber orchestra that commissions and performs the music of living composers. The Bones Still Glow is a series of emotional ballads and intimate portraits written and collected over the past 16 years.
Bartlett says, “they traveled along with me as a young, touring classical musician, helped me reach back home when I needed it, or get lost in space when I needed that, chronicled my transformation into motherhood, and were a source of comfort during chaotic times.”
