Westminster Triptych, which includes David Tessmer, Susanna Reilly and Matthew McCright, will perform Wednesday, May 5,  at 7:30 p.m. in Orr Auditorium.

"The Westminster Triptych was founded in the fall of 2001," Reilly said.  "The term 'triptych' refers to any work of art in three parts, such as a writing table in three parts or a picture or alter piece in three compartments.  We chose that name to honor the College where the group met, and to indicate that the group is a trio."

McCright, a former adjunct faculty member and 1999 Westminster College graduate, plays the piano for the group.  He will receive his doctorate in June from the University of Minnesota. 

Reilly, adjunct faculty member, plays the cello for the group.  She is a also an adjunct faculty member at Geneva, and has taught at Mercyhurst, as well.

Tessmer, adjunct faculty member, plays the flute for the group.  He is currently a doctorate degree candidate at West Virginia University.

The group will perform Martinu's "Trio for the Flute, Cello, and Piano," Haydn's "Trip in G Major for Flute, Cello and Piano," and Dello Jio's "Trio for Flute, Cello, and Piano."

The performance is free and open to the public.  For more information, contact the Westminster College Department of Music at (724) 946-7270.
