ANDROMEDA TURRE

Andromeda Turre is a consummate performer and composer who has honed her craft over a lifetime immersed in music. Born into a family of jazz musicians, she was fortunate to glean from the greats, including Dizzy Gillespie, Max Roach, Wynton Marsalis as well as her parents Steve Turre and Akua Dixon.

Formally trained at The Boston Conservatory, where she studied theater, and at Berklee College of Music, where she focused on vocal performance, her talents have taken her around the world, from touring with Ray Charles, to reigning as the “Queen of the Blues,” at Tokyo Disney and headlining festivals with her own music in 17 countries worldwide. Turre’s artistic practice is rooted in providing her audience with an immersive experience, inviting them into new depths of perspective and self discovery.

In addition to her vocal talents, Andromeda is an accomplished composer whose original works have been featured in film, television, and video games. Her music is deeply influenced by her life’s experiences, and often addresses themes of social justice, spirituality and self-discovery. She composed the score and 13 original songs for Lena: Lessons from a Lady, a musical about the life of Lena Horne, and has been highly sought after as a curator of bespoke music experiences for corporate events. Andromeda’s work as an Artistic Director for Central Park’s premier 2022 Juneteenth Celebration and Music Supervisor for Aquila Theater’s adaptation of The Great Gatsby, demonstrates her ability to create unforgettable experiences that leave a lasting impact. She is currently working on a highly engaging experience for Central Park’s 2023 Juneteenth Celebration.
