About Adrianne Munden-Dixon
Adrianne Munden-Dixon is a New York City-based violinist praised for her “animated and driven” performances (Connect Savannah). She is a dedicated performer of new and improvised music and has given solo performances at Roulette Intermedium, Princeton University, MassMoCA, Columbia University, and SPLICE Festival. She is a founding member of Desdemona (“an excellent young quartet” The New Yorker) and performs regularly with the Savannah Philharmonic. Adrianne has commissioned works for violin and electronics by Finola Merivale, David Bird, Gemma Peacocke, and Maria Kaoutzani. She has worked with composers Annie Gosfield, Pamela Z, Tristan Perich, Pauline Kim Harris, and performed with ensembles including Bearthoven, Chartreuse, Pushback Collective, and members of the Bang on a Can All-Stars. In the 2019-2020 season she appeared as a chamber musician at Prototype Festival, Resonant Bodies, Bang on A Can’s Loud Weekend, Experiments in Opera, and the Ukrainian Contemporary Music Festival. Since forming in 2016, Adrianne has been a member of Desdemona, a New York City-based ensemble devoted to creating unique and inventive performances of repertoire spanning from the Renaissance to world premieres. They have recorded with Grammy award-winning vocalist Cécile McLorin Salvant and have worked closely with living composers including Anthony R. Green, Peter Kramer, David Bird, Robinson McClellan, and Kinds of Kings collective, whose six string quartets they gave the New York premiere. Their performance of “Magdalene”, an opera by 14 composers for soprano, quartet, and harp as part of PROTOTYPE Festival, was hailed as “fantastic” by Opera Wire. Adrianne teaches violin and chamber music at Greenwich House Music School, Larchmont Music Academy, and maintains a private studio in New York. She has studied at Carnegie Mellon University, SUNY Purchase Conservatory of Music, and Aspen Music Festival and her principal teachers include Laurie Smukler, Carmit Zori, and Cornelia Heard. Outside of music, Adrianne is a certified yoga instructor and former competitive surfer. She plays a 1780 Kloz violin.
