Kamala Sankaram

Kamala Sankaram is a boundary-pushing composer, soprano, and performer known for blending genres and storytelling styles in exciting and unconventional ways. With a background that spans classical opera, experimental music, and even Bollywood, her work often explores technology, identity, and current social issues. She's created works for major institutions like the Washington National Opera and LA Opera, and her operas—like *Thumbprint*, *Looking at You*, and *Taking Up Serpents*—have gained a reputation for being bold, immersive, and thought-provoking.

In addition to composing and performing, Sankaram is part of the genre-bending ensemble Bombay Rickey, which fuses opera with surf rock and psychedelic music. Her unique voice in both her compositions and performances has made her a standout figure in contemporary opera and experimental music circles, and she's equally comfortable crafting large-scale operatic works or intimate chamber pieces that push emotional and sonic boundaries.
