Cellist, composer, and educator Tomeka Reid will discuss her composition and artistic practice.
Described as a “New Jazz Power Source” by the New York Times, cellist and composer Tomeka Reid has emerged as one of the most original, versatile, and curious musicians in Chicago’s bustling jazz and improvised music community over the last decade. Her distinctive melodic sensibility, always rooted in a strong sense of groove, has been featured in many distinguished ensembles over the years.
This lecture is part of the Tomeka Reid Residency, initiated by Distinguished Professor James Newton.
