| The
NEW YORK TIMES calls him
"A pillar of the experimental music nonestablishment"
For 30 years Thomas Buckner has won a
very special niche -- that of a champion of the avant-garde. In
concert halls throughout the world, his "baritone-mastery" has
astonished both audiences and critics. Tom has an extraordinarily
flexible voice, as his experience and ability span madrigals, lieder,
opera, free improvisation, extended techniques, all the way to electronically
processed wordless minimalist song. He has been featured as a
soloist in opera, with orchestra, chamber and in recital.
