Adrianne Munden-Dixon is a violinist, improviser, and composer known for her “shapeshifting technical facility” (I Care If You Listen).

She has given solo performances at Roulette Intermedium, the Dimenna Center, Princeton University and presented her music at the Darmstadt Summer Course and University of Georgia. She is a founding member of Desdemona and has recently worked with the JACK Quartet, Cassie Wieland, Leo Chang, David Bird, and filmmaker-pianist XUAN.
