Jessica Lindsey

Jessica Lindsey has established herself as a dynamic performer and pedagogue, pursuing a career that is equally devoted to both spheres.

Dr. Lindsey is committed to pushing the boundaries of the clarinet by commissioning new repertoire, championing music by diverse composers, and showcasing works through conference/festival performances. Her first CD release with pianist Christian Bohnenstengel, “Set No Limits: The Music of Women Composers,” is published by Albany Records (February 2017).

A dedicated educator, Dr. Lindsey has taught at universities across Nebraska, Alaska, and Colorado. She is currently Assistant Professor of Clarinet at UNC Charlotte, where she prides herself on creating new musical opportunities for her growing studio of clarinet students. Dr. Lindsey holds a Doctor of Musical Arts from the University of Colorado at Boulder and a Master of Music from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
