Welcome to Blue Mandala Music. Here you will find a wide variety of music 
from composer and singer/songwriter Kathryn Bostic. Kathryn is a recipient of the prestigious Sundance Fellowship for Filmscoring. She is also a Film Independent Project Involve Honoree.
Kathryn’s music was in the Sundance Film Festival 2012 as the composer for the critically acclaimed movie “Middle of Nowhere” for which award winning director-writer Ava DuVernay won “Best Director for Dramatic Feature.” She created the score for Ava’s previous film “I Will Follow” which film critic Roger Ebert gave a glowing review, creating the buzz for a successful theatrical release. Kathryn has also collaborated with award winning documentary filmmaker Stanley Nelson for American Experience and PBS Independent Lens.
As a composer, she has written for Broadway in her collaboration with award winning playwright August Wilson. Also on Broadway, she created the score for “Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo” starring Robin Williams, written by Pulitzer Prize finalist Rajiv Joseph and helmed by award winning director Moises Kaufman. She is an Ovation Awards nominee and a 2011 Drama Desk nominee for “Outstanding Music in a Play” and her score of music and ambient textures in Bengal Tiger garnered a win in the Sound Design category for this collaboration as well as a Tony nomination.
“Kathryn understood from the very beginning the world and the spirit of the play Bengal Tiger. She brought music to rehearsals that helped us create entire improvisations and textures for the play. In that sense, Kathryn helped us find the soul of the piece. And she helped us transport the audience to Iraq – both the place and the idea.” – Moises Kaufman/Director
She has written music for numerous film, theater, and TV productions. An accomplished pianist and vocalist, Kathryn has composed, arranged and produced the excerpts on this site.
