Violinist and composer Jessie Montgomery sends her latest news today, October 12, 2016:

Starting the season with a BANG!


I am happy to share news for this season from Ann Arbor, MI as I finish up a run here with the Silkroad Ensemble and Mark Morris Dance Group in the production of Layla and Majnun (Performances Thursday-Saturday, October 13-15). I can hardly articulate how excited and fortunate I feel to be starting the season off this way!...


This October 27th marks my most significant premiere to date: The Orpheus Chamber Orchestra will premiere my latest symphonic work, Records From A Vanishing City on their season opening concert a Carnegie Hall! It has been an incredible journey getting to this point, full of significant changes that have brought new meaning to my life and work. I cannot wait to share this moment with you all! (This performance will be preceded by a preview performance of the work on October 23 at Colgate University. See below.)

There will also be another exciting premiere of my work Danse Africaine by the Young People's Chorus of New York on November 4th at National Sawdust, and on November 6th at Merkin Hall as part of their Transient Glory series. Whether you are a Brooklynite or Manhattanite, there is something for you!

Many more collaborations and premieres are coming up throughout the season, so take a look and I hope to see you soon!

As always, I want to thank my listeners, friends, family, colleagues and mentors for all that you've done to support my journey. I am eternally grateful to you.
