MARLOR, Jl

JL Marlor (she/they) is a Brooklyn-based multidisciplinary artist, composer, electric guitarist, songwriter, and educator whose work "churns with fury" (The Washington Post) blurs the boundaries between the personal and political, the collective and individual, and the classical and contemporary. Known for their narrative-driven chamber music, opera, and vocal works, JL’s music draws deeply from Slavic women’s vocal traditions, riot grrrl punk, plainchant, and American protest music. Their work has been performed by ensembles such as JACK Quartet, Wet Ink Ensemble, and LoftOpera, and commissioned by Washington National Opera, American Opera Projects, Spark Duo, Chromic Duo, the DaCamera Singers, and many others.
