In collaboration with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, we captured an exciting conversation between two eminent contemporary composers: Jessie Montgomery and Missy Mazzoli. These friends and colleagues — both of whom have served as CSO composers-in-residence — have not only honed their craft but also propelled classical music’s evolution through their innovative works.
On the iconic CSO stage, WFMT host LaRob K. Rafael led an illuminating discussion with Mazzoli and Montgomery. The free-flowing conversation delved into their creative processes, artistic visions, and future aspirations, while also exploring their mutual admiration.
I led the production, filming, and editing of this conversation, working in close collaboration with CSO colleagues.
