This concert will feature world premieres of five of my latest works, five of Vermont’s best musicians and one of Vermont’s finest performance poets. There will be premieres of solo works for flute, violin, tenor saxophone, baritone saxophone and the third performance of a work for solo piano. In addition, a work for all five musicians will be premiered. Renowned Vermont poet Rajnii Eddins will perform some of his poetry as well. Tickets will be available at the door, and all ticket sales will go to benefit the Clemmons Family Farm , a magnificent cultural and arts center in Charlotte and one of only 0.4% of Black-owned farms in the United States.
