Third Coast Percussion & Jessie Montgomery

GRAMMY® Award-winners Jessie Montgomery and TCP collaborate in a dynamic program that equally showcases Montgomery’s excellence as a composer and violinist. Lady Justice/Black Justice, a newly-commissioned work for percussion quartet, is paired with Lou Harrison’s Concerto for Violin with Percussion Orchestra–a tour de force that draws inspiration from the vibrant sounds of Javanese gamelan. This program also features other rhythmically ambitious works written for TCP’s 20th Anniversary in 2025, by genre-bending musicians Tigran Hamasyan and Jlin, and TCP’s own arrangement of Montgomery’s In Color, all of which showcase the brilliant and expansive sonic universe of percussion.
