Joanna MacGregor, one of the most innovative of musicians,
divides her time between playing classical, jazz and contemporary music.
She has performed with many of the world's great orchestras (including
Chicago Symphony, New York Philharmonic and London Symphony), and eminent
conductors (including Boulez, Davis and Rattle) and has premiered several
landmark compositions (including Birtwistle, Adams and Hugh Wood). She
has collaborated with many leading jazz and pop artists and has devised
multimedia projects. Joanna MacGregor made her conducting debut in 2002
and recently directed the Moondog/Art of Fugue tour - a radical re-working
of Bach's late great work, alongside the music of the famous 50's New
York street musician.
