about.
Grace Pressley is a contemporary saxophonist currently based in New York City. She is currently a graduate student at the Manhattan School of Music, studying contemporary performance with Professor Erin Rogers. Her focus is on diversity in programming as she is actively seeking ways to make the performing arts community a more inclusive space. As a dedicated proponent of new music, she is looking for ways to be involved in commissioning projects by underrepresented composers and is consistently programming new works on her own recitals. Pressley recently graduated with a B.M. in Commercial Music and Audio Production at Western Carolina University where she was a student of Dr. Ian Jeffress. She is a founding member of Dice Trio and regularly works with living composers to commission works for the trio.
