Jessica Lindsey
Jessica Lindsey has established herself as a dynamic performer and pedagogue, pursuing a career that is equally devoted to both spheres. Her reputation as a clarinetist in both chamber and orchestral settings has seen her perform throughout the United States, and as far afield as China and New Zealand.
A genuine artist of today’s changing musical landscape, Dr. Lindsey is committed to pushing the boundaries of the clarinet; by commissioning new repertoire, championing music by diverse composers, and showcasing works through commercial recordings, performances at festivals, and conferences presentations. She is regularly featured at the International Clarinet Association’s ClarinetFest and the National College Music Symposium. Her first CD release with pianist Christian Bohnenstengel, Set No Limits: The Music of Women Composers, is published by Albany Records (February 2018). Fanfare Magazine described Dr. Lindsey as, “a master of her instrument, exhibiting wonderful dynamic shading and breath control.”
Dr. Lindsey actively performs with Spatial Forces Duo, a bass/clarinet duo she co-founded with Dr. Christy Banks which has received critical acclaim for its energetic performances of electroacoustic music. As an orchestral player, she has performed with the Lincoln and Omaha symphonies, Fairbanks Symphony Orchestra, and Opera Fairbanks. She currently performs with the Nebraska Chamber Orchestra as bass clarinetist and as substitute clarinet with the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra.
