Jessica Pavone

Today’s guest is composer/violist Jessica Pavone, a NYC based artist whose new album Clamor, is out in October. The album, which features string ensemble and bassoon, includes works that are inspired by women’s inventions created out of a desire to circumvent the limitations to their freedoms, including the See Saw, 17th century, Korean women invented the standing see-saw to help them see what lay outside. These women weren’t allowed to leave their homes, so the see-saw gave them the ability to peek out the walls of their property, if even for just a second. In addition to the interview, you'll hear from the forthcoming album.
