American French hornist Kyra Sims combines electronically processed field recordings from Antarctica with free improvisation, vocals, and storytelling, in collaboration with A/V designer Ryn Hardiman. They will be supported by local classical composer, Lucky Pollock.__
Kyra Sims is a musician, writer, and theatremaker residing in NYC. She has worked with artists such as Rosalía, Jon Batiste, Earth, Wind & Fire, Carole King, and Lizzo, and performed in the Broadway musical Illinoise. Kyra now works independently as a performance artist, combining French horn with vocals, electronics, and spoken word, blending slice-of-life themes with hopeful Afrofuturism.
In January 2026 she traveled to Antarctica as a Polar STEAM fellow on a research vessel, and the work she created on this voyage, Otto in Antarctica, will be performed here at the Pyramid Club!
