Bergamot Quartet
Bergamot Quartet is fueled by a passion for exploring and advocating for the music of living composers, continually expanding the limits of the string quartet’s rich tradition in western classical music. With a priority given to music by women, they aim to place this new, genre-bending music in meaningful dialogue with the histories that precede it with creative programming, community-oriented audience building, and frequent commissioning.

As a writer for The Jazz Gallery’s blog, Jazz Speaks, I get to talk with remarkable performers leading up to their shows at the Gallery.

A Message of Inclusion, A History of Exclusion
As a Peabody student, I wrote a paper and created an online exhibit exploring the Peabody Institute’s legacy of racism and exclusion as a recipient of the Hugh Hawkins Research Fellowship for the Study of Hopkins History. A Message of Inclusion, A History of Exclusion: Racial Injustice at the Peabody Institute can be found on the Johns Hopkins University Sheridan Libraries and Museums website below. |
