“A quintet from the orchestra will also perform four works on the Vineyard. The first is “Duo for Violin & Cello” by Jessie Montgomery, a Grammy-awardwinning African American composer from New York. Next will be an unusual trio combination, “‘Romeo Turn’ for Viola, Cello, and Bass,” by Errollyn Wallen, a Belize-born British composer. Finishing up the first half of the concert is Shelley Washington’s “‘Towers’ for Solo Piano,” which reflects her experience of what she refers to as the “crushing isolation” of teaching as a Black woman in higher academia.”
