"An American modernist maverick, Perry studied with Luigi Dallapiccola at Tanglewood and in Italy, and with the legendary Nadia Boulanger at Fontainebleau, where Perry was awarded the grand prix. She was uncompromising and fearless in her music, and overcame myriad of challenges to pursue her art."- Quote from Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum program
