Carrie Frey

Carrie Frey is a New York City-based violist, improviser,
and composer who “conjures an inviting warmth that leaves her
virtuosity on the margins, placing the focus on her humanity
(Bandcamp Daily).”


Frey is the violist of the Rhythm Method and a founding member of
string trio Chartreuse and string quartet Desdemona. She has
performed with many of New York City’s notable contemporary
ensembles, including Wet Ink Large Ensemble, AMOC*, Talea
Ensemble, and Cantata Profana.


Host Stephen Anthony Rawson sits down with Carrie to talk about
her new album, Seagrass: Works for Solo Viola. They take a
dive into the music and composers featured on the album, as well
as the science fiction writings of Arkady Martine, and the
violist’s need for a bigger wardrobe.
