Relentlessly Queer: Quorum Boston and Local, Living Composers (THURSDAY CONCERT)
Quorum Boston is an LGBTQ Vocal Ensemble - we specialize in singing music almost exclusively by queer composers. In the past, we've been trying to combat queer erasure among the classical music cannon.
In this concert, we're lifting up the voices of living composers in the Boston area - exclusively, joyfully, and unapologetically.
Why? Well, first of all, this music is gloriously beautiful. But more importantly, there is so much creative talent, with so many important things to say living in our great city. We want to showcase their voices instead of those who are past and gone, and we want you to hear what they have to say.

+ "Show Me the Way" Sam Jones
+ "You are Your Body" inti logan figgis-vizueta
