Driven by a devotion to the sonic afterlife, memory, and material curiosity, “one of the most exciting young composers in North America” (The Guardian), Kara-Lis Coverdale makes her Upper Midwest debut at The Great Northern 2022. Her dynamic work explores genre-defying electronic music that weaves together several musical systems and languages—encapsulating a post-instrument virtual world of sound.
Kara-Lis is a Canadian-born composer, musician, and producer with Estonian heritage. She began studying piano with the Royal Conservatory of Music at 5 and has held positions as organist, choir, and music directors across Canada since 13. Coverdale completed degrees in musicology and composition, writing a Master's thesis on the construction of timbral realism in mediated and recorded music, also studying composition, media, and piano. She is a recipient of Canada’s “Promising Young Artist” Award presented by Ann Southam and has held residencies with GRM Paris, EMS Stockholm, FUGA Zaragoza, and more. Kara-Lis has performed live all over the world at institutions such as The Barbican, Théâtre du Châtelet, AGO, MAC Montreal, Teatro Circo, Kraftwerk, and Elbphilharmonie.
