In 2012, receiving the Sphinx Organization Medal of Excellence, Murray dedicated himself to promoting the music of living contemporary composers. “Celebrating the music of today is of enormous importance, and having contemporary composers of every visual and invisible color heard, in every concert program, I consider it a responsibility,” she wrote in The Strad.
Murray’s recordings include an album of Ysaÿe sonatas (Harmonia Mundi, 2014), 20th Century: The American Scene (eaSonus, 2014), and a recording of Bernstein’s Serenade (after Plato’s Symposium), released in 2014 on Mirare label.
