Composer/performer Jessie Montgomery is the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s Mead Composer-in-Residence and was recently named Musical America‘s 2023 Composer of the Year.

Third Coast Percussion is thrilled to collaborate with Jessie in a dynamic program that equally showcases her excellence as a visionary creator and virtuosic performer. Her first-ever work for a percussion quartet draws a universe of sounds and characters out of a very compact percussion setup and is paired with Lou Harrison’s Concerto for Violin with Percussion Orchestra–a tour de force that draws inspiration from the vibrant sounds of Javanese gamelan.

Program:
