Jessi Harvey
Jessi Harvey, also known by George, is a Montana-born, Seattle-based composer, with degrees from Bryn Mawr College and University of New Mexico. Her work is a synthesis of musical influences heavily influenced by the confluence of philosophy, literature, and various aspects of the sciences.
Since arriving in Seattle in 2013, Jessi has focused on collaboration with other artists. As a Teaching Artist with the Seattle Symphony, she has been a composer and arranger for the Lullaby Project which works with mothers experiencing homelessness write lullabies for their children and co-taught and co-arranged a collaborative composition project with students from Path With Art, culminating in a performance with the participants alongside Seattle Symphony musicians in March 2017. She has pieces regularly performed throughout Seattle and co-led a talk on collaborative composition at the inaugural NUMUS Northwest conference in 2017. Seattle Mag described her music as “full of surprises and consistently attention holding.” Jessi’s music has been played on both coasts, Los Angeles, Chicago, and most recently, had her Canadian premiere during the Waterloo Region Contemporary Music Sessions.
