Throughout most of her career, VColeman has composed a collection of works that has challenged the stereotypical notion of woodwind quintet. Her style is an inspired tapestry of urban-classical roots, a connection between unifying threads within cultures globally and lively mosaics that convey a passion for elevating the listener's ear.
