Jessie Montgomery & The Everything Band

ARTIST AS CURATOR
Curated by Jessie Montgomery

The Grammy Award-winning composer, violinist and educator hosts and performs an eclectic program of works with her ensemble The Everything Band, an all-star lineup of the best players on the new music scene. Described as “turbulent, wildly colorful, and exploding with life” (The Washington Post), Montgomery’s work interweaves classical music with elements of vernacular music, improvisation, poetry and social consciousness, making her an acute interpreter of 21st-century American sound and experience. A former Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s Mead Composer-in-Residence, Montgomery was named Performance Today’s 2025 Classical Woman of the Year.
