Involving composers of contrasting and stylistic voices, ranging in age, gender, and culture, the four volumes of "20 for 2020" will highlight issues from the pandemic to quarantine isolation, loss, racial injustice, and mass protests.

The works include solo cello with occasional multilayering and different chamber combinations. Other performers include pianist Timo Andres, double bassist Xavier Foley, pianist Anna PolonskyVivek Pandya on Tabla, Mari Tanaka playing the Tanpura, and the Brooklyn Rider string quartet.

Composers to be featured include:
