BAROQUEER: HISTORICALLY INFORMED
May 30
Overview
The iconoclastic Brooklyn collective ChamberQUEER teams up with H+H for BaroQUEER: Historically Informed. Co-curated by superstar countertenor Reginald Mobley and CQ cofounders Brian Mummert + Jules Biber, this concert asks: whose histories inform the way we play and perceive Baroque music, and what would it mean to center performers’ voices & stories? Featuring music by composers ranging from George Frideric Handel and Jean-Baptiste Lully to Julius Eastman and Caroline Shaw, Historically Informed celebrates the queer perspectives that have shaped the early-music revival and influenced generations of boundary-breaking artists.
Pay What You Wish
At H+H we believe music connects us all and we are committed to being accessible to anyone who wishes to engage with us. We therefore ask that anyone attending this concert pay what fits your level of comfort.
