New Classical – Jennifer Higdon

March 2, 2020

Featured Artist 3/2/20 – 3/8/20.

All this month on CMI Streaming, we celebrate Women’s History Month by featuring the musical contributions of women artists, including composers and performers. American composer Jennifer Higdon taught herself to play the flute at age 16 before beginning formal music studies at age 18 and composition at age 21. Despite the late start, Higdon has become one of the most often-performed contemporary composers and is a Pulitzer and two-time Grammy award winner. Higdon has written commissions for a long list of ensembles including The Philadelphia Orchestra, The Chicago Symphony, The Atlanta Symphony, The Cleveland Orchestra, The Minnesota Orchestra, The Pittsburgh Symphony, the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, as well such groups as the Tokyo String Quartet, the Lark Quartet, Eighth Blackbird, and the President’s Own Marine Band.

Connect with CMI Streaming’s New Classical channel this week for the music of Jennifer Higdon.
