A Conversation with Composer and Violinist Jesse Montgomery

Jessie Montgomery is an acclaimed composer, violinist, and
educator. Her works are performed frequently around the world by
leading musicians and ensembles. Her music interweaves classical
music with elements of vernacular music, improvisation, language,
and social justice, placing her squarely as one of the most
relevant interpreters of 21st-century American sound and
experience. We had a great conversation touching on her
upbringing, improv in classical music, her wide range of works,
and much more!
