About the Artist
Kelly Bray is a trumpet player, improviser, and composer. Her original compositions and improvisations explore the extremes in trumpet technique, often drawing from her relationship to perceptions of gender and femininity in the communities and aesthetics of improvisation, creative music, and trumpet playing. Her recorded electroacoustic works intuitively combine her live improvisational techniques with harsh and glitchy sounding sound manipulation.
Bray is a sought after performer in the Northeast United States and Canada, frequenting venues in Boston, New Haven, New York City, Philadelphia, and Montreal. She regularly performs both solo and in groups, bringing an exciting, yet sensitive improvisational style to each performance.
An alumnus of the New England Conservatory of Music, Bray earned a Master of Music in Contemporary Improvisation, studying with Anthony Coleman and Joe Morris.
