| This is the official Myspace page for Theo Bleckmann. If you are interested in booking or private lessons, please visit his webiste: www.theobleckman.com for contact information, as this is not a reliable means of direct communication with Theo. Theo's Bio: Genre -bending, -skipping and -skirting vocalist and composer, Theo Bleckmann has been a steady force in the music scene in New York for over a decade. He has performed worldwide on some of the great stages including Carnegie Hall’s Zankel Hall, the Sydney Opera House, L.A.’s Disney Hall, The Whitney Museum and the new library of Alexandria, Egypt. The New Yorker called him a “local cult favorite”, the New York Times “excellent” and according to OUT Magazine, Bleckmann is “a singer who has only recently fallen to earth.“ For the past two years, Bleckmann has made it into the small group of artists voted "Cultural Elite" by New York Magazine. His music and performances are at once tender and deeply grounded, merging the lyrical with the angular, the ethereal with the real, while never losing touch with his audience. His newest recording "Las Vegas Rhapsody" for Winter&Winter has been described as "the most transcendent vocal album in many a moon", by Francis Davis from the Village Voice. Bleckmann’s great range, both vocally and emotionally, has also inspired some of today’s great composers such as Mark Dresser, John Hollenbeck, Phil Kline, Ben Monder, Kirk Nurock, Bob Ostertag, and Bang on a Can’s David Lang, Michael Gordon and Julia Wolfe, to create pieces especially for and with him. He also recorded for Bobby McFerrin’s upcoming choral recording. Bleckmann has had a long-standing track record of working closely with composer and performance artist Meredith Monk and her Vocal Ensemble since 1994. Furthermore, he has performed with such artists as Laurie Anderson, Anthony Braxton, Steve Coleman, Mark Dresser, Dave Douglas, Philip Glass, John Hollenbeck, Sheila Jordan, Ben Monder, Michael Tilson Thomas, and the Bang On A Can All-stars and was a guest vocalist with the San Francisco Symphony Chorus, Estonian Radio Choir, Merce Cunningham Dance Company and Mark Morris Dance Group and contributed his unique vocal capabilities to the soundtrack to Spielberg's “Men in Black”. Bleckmann’s recent, ambient, solo vocal CD “anteroom” has been released on Traumton Recordings to rave reviews. Bleckmann is currently working, again with Winter&Winter, on a collection of German songs from the Weimar and post WWII era for piano and string quartet. |
