Artists Studio
Sofia Jernberg
And Special Guests
May 20, 2025
Veterans Room
Swedish experimental singer, improviser, and composer Sofia Jernberg harnesses unconventional techniques and sounds with a focus on the human acoustic voice in durational performances that freely mix between improvisation and composed song. She has developed a broad repertoire ranging from overtone singing to guttural lutes, including childlike wailing and soft, intimate melodies that touch on themes of identity, internationality, origin, and belonging. This singular talent is joined by some additional musicians and guests for a unique performance of some of her own pre-existing and new compositions that embrace her creative practice of communion and collaboration.

“astounding … [Her] operatic range, palette of unique wordless sounds and ability to rein in her technique to be hugely effective on folk songs and pop anthems make a big impression.”
