Kristen Mather de Andrade

Lightbulb moments can strike at any time. Eclectic virtuosic clarinetist 
Kristen Mather de Andrade had reached a career milestone in being years 
into a career as the principal clarinetist with the West Point Band when 
she had a seismic artistic epiphany. After playing a program of 
Brazilian music on a livestream, she decided it was time to record her 
full-length debut album, aptly-titled "Clarão" which translates from 
Portuguese to mean "flash of light."


This fresh outlet of releasing her own recorded music has been 
transformative, and Kristen has since released a five-song Christmas 
music EP, "Evergreen" consisting of four less obvious Christmas carols 
and one original composition, "Union Square," written by Annie Pasqua 
who lends her voice to the exquisite song. "Evergreen" arrived months 
after the summer release of her critically hailed debut album, "Clarão" 
and is a bridge to a new summer release in 2022 entitled "As Bright As 
The Skies Are Blue" which features the work she commissioned by composer 
David Reeves for clarinet and percussion.

Kristen has enjoyed a career of prime accolades and acclaim within her 
chosen musical paths, but these days music feels as vital as ever as she 
explores being a solo artist. Not only has stepping into the spotlight 
as a solo recording artist broadened her artistic experience, but it has 
opened up her mind to previously unimagined creative possibilities, 
expanding and diversifying her musical palate.
