Kristen Toedtman is a master singer and interpreter of song whose warmth and vitality carry through performances, recordings and ceremonies. She has performed at Carnegie Hall with the New World Symphony, Disney Hall with the LA Philharmonic and LA Master Chorale and Davies Hall with the San Francisco Symphony. Her voice and music have soothed listeners in ceremonial settings, rituals, waiting rooms and shelters, as well as through recordings of her original songs. She sings on the soundtracks of many movies including Wicked, Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker, Minions, Big Hero 6 and Frozen. Kristen returns this fall as a teaching artist & songwriter for Street Symphony’s Women’s Voices project, spotlighting the voices of the Downtown Women’s Center in LA’s Skid Row as they write songs together. Kristen has sung in prisons and in Veterans’ shelters and specializes in creating safe spaces for singing. Her warmth and unrivaled enthusiasm for the pleasures of group singing help even the shyest singer step into the cool waters of harmony. She carries her blend of collected “Pocket Songs” with her wherever she goes: songs that are fun to learn, uplifting in spirit and infectiously catchy.
