St. Louis Symphony Orchestra | Jessie Montgomery's Strum (excerpt)

In this digital concert excerpt, a quartet of St. Louis Symphony Orchestra string players perform Jessie Montgomery's Strum.

Strum is a celebration of “American folk idioms and the spirit of dance and movement,” writes Montgomery. Its title refers to the guitar-like plucking of the strings that plays many roles: floating hum, earthy groove, rapturous thrum.

The SLSO’s digital concerts are supported in part by a grant from the Berges Family Foundation.
