We are proud to present Jessie Montgomery (US) as the 2024 festival composer.
Montgomery´s Grammy award for Best Contemporary Classical Composition from February this year says a lot about her qualities, and there will be many opportunities to get close to Montgomery during the festival. She will perform as a violinist in Dokkhuset, the Royal Residence and the Freemason Hall. 14 of her works will be performed during the festival, and the traditional seminar "Meet the composer" in collaboration with NTNU is a unique opportunity to get close to such a great artist.
