A fearless and versatile talent, harpist Brandee Younger defies genres and labels as a classically-trained musician playing in the avant-garde tradition of her sonically forward predecessors Dorothy Ashby and Alice Coltrane. Ms. Younger delivers a consistently fresh take on the ancient instrument as an educator, concert curator, performer and leader of the Brandee Younger Quartet. Most recently, Younger released an album on the Chicago based label International Anthem together with her partner Dezron Douglas, called Force Majeure, followed by her 2021 debut on the legendary Impulse! Label – Somewhere Different. 2023 saw her releasing her second Impulse! album Brand New Life.
