The Symphony No. 3, "Sinfonia expansiva," from 1911 by Danish composer Carl Nielsen that he described as a tribute to human activities here on Earth and to humanity’s infinite potential, is today’s Midday Masterpiece.

And today for Women's History Month we’re highlighting American composer Jessie Montgomery throughout the day.

  • Jessie Montgomery is an acclaimed composer, violinist, and educator. She is the recipient of numerous awards and commissions.
  • Jessie was born and raised in Manhattan’s Lower East Side in the 1980s during a time when the neighborhood was a hotbed of artistic experimentation and community development. From this unique experience, Jessie has created a life that merges composing, performance, education, and advocacy.
  • Montgomery's music interweaves classical music with elements of vernacular music, improvisation, language, and social justice, placing her squarely as one of the most relevant interpreters of 21st-century American sound and experience.
  • Since 1999, Jessie has been affiliated with The Sphinx Organization which supports young African-American and Latinx string players. She currently serves as composer-in-residence for the Sphinx Virtuosi, the Organization’s flagship professional touring ensemble.
  • A founding member of PUBLIQuartet and former member of the Catalyst Quartet, Jessie continues to maintain an active performance career as a violinist appearing regularly with her own ensembles, as well as with the Silkroad Ensemble and Sphinx Virtuosi.
  • Montgomery holds degrees from the Juilliard School and New York University and is currently a Graduate Fellow in Music Composition at Princeton University. She is Professor of violin and composition at The New School. In May 2021 she began her appointment as the Mead Composer-in-Residence with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
