Cellist, composer, and educator Tomeka Reid will discuss her composition and artistic practice.

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.
