In collaboration with five emerging QTPOC (Queer/Trans People of Color) composers from the Poiesis Quartet’s alma mater, Oberlin College and Conservatory, this impactful commission project expands the string quartet canon with approaches to music-making that are too often unheard. This project brings underrepresented voices, genres, and influences to the forefront. This concert will feature world premieres by current students and alumni Zola Saadi-Klein, Max Lang, Calvin Shawler, Maya Irizarry Lambright ’24 and Daniel Lasagna '24.
Please join us for a pre-concert discussion at 7:00pm with the five composers to learn more about this collaboration between the Poiesis Quartet and these composers.
This event is in-person only.
