For those unaware, Kristen Mather de Andrade is a critically acclaimed clarinetist, vocalist, and producer whose music blends classical, jazz, and Brazilian influences into a genre-defying sound.

Her aesthetic honors tradition while making intricate styles accessible, bridging the gap between esoteric music and public tastes. With three albums and two EPs, she continues to push creative boundaries.

Her brand new album, Sem Fim (out now via Ansonica Records), is a lush orchestral tribute to Brazil’s musical heritage, featuring pioneering female composers and a Grammy-winning all-female engineering team.

Outside of her solo career, Mather de Andrade is the principal clarinetist and soloist with the West Point Band. She has performed at the United Nations Headquarters for an audience of ambassadors, as well as for world leaders, including American presidents and the former Queen of Spain.

Her performances span prestigious venues such as Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center, Avery Fisher Hall, and Severance Hall. She has also appeared at Musicians@Google in New York City and performed on the Ohio River’s concert barge, Point Counterpoint II, with the American Wind Symphony.

On an album that is all things rich, warm, comforting, and just oh-so incredibly enjoyable, Kristen opens on the emboldened Atraente and the lushing organic Vide Vida Marvada and then we get the buoyantly flourishing Amanheceu Peguei a Viola, the melodious hipsway of Bordões ao Luar and the sheer elegance of Chove lá Fora.

Along next is the flirtatiously renaissance-imbibed joy of Castle Maxixe and the lushly sculpted breeze of Endless and Blind and they are in turned backed seamlessly by the playfully ambient Chão de Estrelas, the New Orleans-hued beauty of Frevo Novo, the new set rounding out on the veritably crystalline Clarinete Dengoso, coming to a close on the joyfully breezy Só o Tempo.
