Hillary Jean Young (they/them) is a musician and vocalist working in experimental music, contemporary music, new opera, and improvisation.
Hillary’s creative practice explores the intersections of gender, technology, corporeality, and queer experience. Hillary completed their DMA in Contemporary Music Performance at the University of California, San Diego in May 2019. Their dissertation, “‘She Uses They/Them Pronouns’: Finding a Non-Binary Voice in a Gendered World”, considers their operatic past alongside their queer, experimental music present.
Hillary is usually doing many things at once (and loving it). Head to “practices” to find out more.
