At this year’s festival, she will be joined by conductor Aliisa Neige Barrière, clarinetist Vicente Alberola, violinist José Maria Blumenschein, the Brentano String Quartet, cellist Jay Campbell, soprano Lucy Fitz Gibbon, percussionist Sae Hashimoto, violinist Alexi Kenney, accordionist Ljubinka Kulisic, the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, harpist Julie Smith Phillips, bassist Rick Stotijn, and new media artist Xuan.
