A singer, author, teacher, funeral director and mortician based in the western United States. Performs as bass/baritone with Anúna.

Michael McGlynn gathers those around him to sing as themselves, and not once has he ever manipulated voices into a sound he desires. Rather, he uses the approach of organic mixture of sounds, and that creates the unique and singer-owned sound that sets Anúna apart from all other ensembles. 

To me, Anúna is a community... a family... where every performance varies, adapts to the makeup of the particular members of that ensemble at the time, and presents powerful and meaningful music with the sound of many breathing as one. With each performance is a different sound, and the members come together with the same mission: to embrace each performance as its own unique happening.

From the mountains in the Tibetan Region of the Himalayas, to the dark forests of the Pacific Northwest, I consistently focus on embracing the uniqueness of my surroundings. Based in the United States, I have been part of nationally recognized ensembles such as the Phoenix Chorale, Vancouver Bach Chorale and the Northwest Repertory Singers. I serve on the board of Solis Camerata, an early-music ensemble, where I also sing Bass and am a member of Percival Choir.

As a funeral director-in-training, I find a deep connection between the cycle of life, the cycle of performance, and the cycle of self. Anúna brings those cycles together, evolving with ever-changing growth and leading the way into new inventions and discoveries of voice and song.”
