TRIPLE PLAY: Concertmaster Kelly Hall-Tompkins ’93E performs Beethoven’s Triple Concerto with cellist Troy Stuart and pianist Terrence Wilson and the Gateways Music Festival Chamber Orchestra at Rochester’s Hochstein School of Music & Dance. Under the direction of Michael Morgan, the music director of the Oakland, Calif., East Bay Symphony, the concert was part of the biennial festival that celebrates musicians of African descent and their contributions to classical music. Featuring about 100 musicians from across the country, including several Eastman alumni, the festival is a collaboration involving the Eastman School, area churches, and Rochester community organizations.
