Biography


Newton earned a degree in music at the University of Oregon. In 1974 she moved to Europe and continued her music studies[1] with Sylvia Geszty at the State University of Music and Performing Arts Stuttgart. In 1977 she joined the Vienna Art Orchestra, touring widely with the group until 1989. With Bobby McFerrin, Jeanne Lee, Urszula Dudziak and Jay Clayton she formed the Vocal Summit in 1982.

Newton combines conventional technique with unconventional vocal sounds.[1] She has taught at the Berlin University of the Arts, University of Music and Performing Arts, Graz in Austria, Folkwang Hochschule in Essen, Germany, and Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Lucerne, Switzerland.

She performed Adriana Hölszky's Comment for Lauren and other works by Hans-Joachim Hespos, Bernd Konrad, Hannes Zerbe, and Wolfgang Dauner. In 1993 she performed Wolfgang Schmiedt's adaptation for solo vocalist of Mahler's Kindertotenlieder.

Lauren Amber Newton (* 16. November 1952 in Coos Bay, Oregon) ist eine US-amerikanische Sängerin (Jazzgesang, improvisierte und Neue Musik), Komponistin und Hochschullehrerin. Die Sängerin ist eine der wichtigen Vokalisten des Jazz und nach Peter Rüedi „eine der bedeutendsten zeitgenössischen Vokal-Improvisatorinnen.“ Sie hat „einen instrumental und vor allem perkussiv orientierten Stil entwickelt, der in seiner technischen Perfektion, der stimmlichen Dimensionierung, aber auch durch die Phantasie, mit der sie musikalische Materialien überraschend kombiniert“, bis heute unvergleichbar ist.[1]
