Avery Fisher Residency Concert: Allison Miller’s Rivers In Our Veins Project

Drummer, composer, and teacher Allison Miller created Rivers In Our Veins as an exploration of the cultural and ecological life of rivers. This multisensory experience combines original jazz music with tap dance and video projections, all inspired by five great American rivers.

The Janet and Avery Fisher Music Residency is funded by the late Janet Fisher, a 1938 Goucher alumna, in memory of her late husband. This annual two-day residency offers music students the opportunity to interact with and learn from internationally known professional musicians. Past Fisher artists in residence have included Igor Begelman, Shai Wosner, and Anthony McGill.
