ALLAN PRAY
Allan Pray is a composer, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and conceptual artist from Cincinnati, OH. His albums "Tam O'Shanter Remembers the Day", and "Race: The Portrait of a Town" are diaristic portraits of character studies and shadowy memories.
His current project "King Cuicatl" is a song cycle and live presentation developed in collaboration with Mexico City's UNAM University. Performances of "King Cuicatl" began in Oaxaca, Mexico with a large ensemble of musicians from Oaxaca’s indigenous “Mixtec” tribe, later with a blend of these Mixtec musicians and the Oaxaca Symphony, and most recently in Mexico City with the Mexican National Symphony.
Pray's music has been called "majestic" by El Sol de México, "radiant" by The Cincinnati Enquirer, and "epic" by WVXU.
