Aurora Josephson
Aurora Josephson is a musician and visual artist currently residing in Portland, Oregon. She has been with LFOA from its early years and a fierce advocate of its mission and core values.
Building on Aurora’s foundation of operatic training and a BA and an MFA in Music Performance from Mills College, she has forged a bold and vocal style that is uniquely her own. To unleash the limitless range of sonic possibilities in the voice, Aurora employs a variety of extended and unconventional techniques drawn from the worlds of contemporary composition, improvisation, and rock. She has performed and recorded with Alvin Curran, Gianni Gebbie, Henry Kaiser, Joelle Leandre and William Winant, and musical groups, Big City Orchestra, Flying Luttenbachers, The Molecules, ROVA Saxophone Quartet, T.D. Skatchitband and the Merce Cunningham Dance Company.
