ABOUT MICAELA TOBIN
Composer and sound artist Micaela Tobin wields her soprano voice against the confines of convention, specializing in experimental opera. Micaela focuses on building connections between the physical voice and one’s "inner" voice as a means of empowerment, challenging colonial stories and systems. Integrating voice with electronics, ritualized gesture and amplified object-symbolism, she weaves dynamic music that is at once alluring and demanding. As composer and director, Micaela presented her opera film at REDCAT in 2021, titled BAKUNAWA: Opera of the Seven Moons, an adaptation of the album under her music project, White Boy Scream. Continuing her series celebrating precolonial mythology of the Philippines, Micaela premiered her second opera in 2023, APOLAKI: Opera of the Scorched Earth, at the historic Zorthian Ranch. Micaela is the recipient of the 2021 MAP Fund, the 2022 NPN Creation & Development Fund, and was most recently awarded the 2024 Civitella Ranieri Fellowship. She is currently based in Tulsa, OK as an awardee of the 2025-2027 Tulsa Artist Fellowship. Micaela has fostered young and new talent as a voice teacher for over a decade. She taught voice on faculty at the California Institute for the Arts from 2018-2024 and through her experimental voice hub, HOWL SPACE, co-founded with Carmina Escobar, since 2020.
