On June 23, 2023, Annika Socolofsky (MA ’14, composition), a composer and avant-folk vocalist, released Don’t say a word, an album of feminist rager-lullabies for the new queer era on New Amsterdam Records. Described as “grotesquely gorgeous” (Chicago Tribune) and “unbearably moving” (Gramophone), Socolofsky’s work explores vocal worlds tender and violent and everything in between.
