Short Bio: Krys Bobrowski

Krys Bobrowski is a composer, sound artist, and musician. In addition to French horn, she plays acoustic and electronic instruments of her own design and making. Her instruments include Kelp Horns, wind instruments made of dried seaweed, and the Gliss Glass, an amplified, bowed, glass and water instrument that creates continuously sliding pitches. As a composer, her pieces often address the question ‘What Does Cooperation Sound Like?’ They explore the unspoken and unseen connectedness of performers, audience, and people as members of society, as a whole.

Her work has been presented in a number of festivals and venues including the SF MOMA, the Metronom, Barcelona, the Lincoln Center Out of Doors, NYC, the Ex Teresa Arte Actual, Mexico City, and the Exploratorium, SF. For several years she was a guest performer with Takehisa Kosugi and Christian Wolff for the Merce Cunningham Dance Company, and she continues to be an active improviser and performer of new music. Gliss Glass Gong, a duo with percussionist Karen Stackpole, is her latest improvised music project with an album release scheduled for 2025. Currently, Krys Bobrowski teaches at the College of San Mateo where she serves as full professor and the lead faculty for the Music & Technology Program.
