Siren Xypher

Siren Xypher is a collective of three established performing composers Melanie Dyer (vla), Mara Rosenbloom (p) and Kyoko Kitamura (v), presenting intricate original works which combine art songs, spoken words and free-flowing improvisation. Their love for, and extensive experience in, these musical genres generate deep sonic conversations full of humor, warmth, surprises and fire. 

Debuting in early 2022, Siren Xypher has since performed in various music series including Pittsburgh's City of Asylum Jazz Poetry Month and the InGardens series at Governors Island supported by Arts for Art and West Harlem Art Fund, and was featured on the BBC3 Freeness podcast "Peace Pieces". 

Siren Xypher is the production and curatorial team behind Brooklyn Free Spirit Festival, now in its second year, of which Mara Rosenbloom serves as the artistic director, with Kyoko Kitamura and Melanie Dyer as production consultants and co-producers. The Second Brooklyn Free Spirit Festival will take place on July 12 and July 13, 2025 at Ibeam.
