BaroQUEER: Historically Informed

To welcome Pride month, the Handel and Haydn Society and iconoclastic Brooklyn collective ChamberQUEER will present BaroQUEER: Historically Informed on May 30 at 7:30pm at Hibernian Hall in Roxbury. Following a “pay what you wish” entrance, the program celebrates queer excellence in classical music and will offer Baroque bops and new jams from composers ranging from George Frideric Handel and Jean-Baptiste Lully to Julius Eastman and Caroline Shaw. This concert asks: "Whose histories inform the way we play and perceive Baroque music, and what would it mean to center performers' voices and stories?” and was selected as an event of Everyone250, redefining what it means to belong in Boston as America commemorates its 250th anniversary.
