Carnegie Hall Citywide: BaroQUEER: Historically Informed

Event is Live

Carnegie Hall Presents

Thursday, June 5, 2025 7:30 PM Judson Memorial Church

ChamberQUEER by Sean Salamon, Handel and Haydn Society by Sam Brewer

The iconoclastic Brooklyn collective ChamberQUEER (CQ) teams up with the Grammy Award–winning Boston institution Handel and Haydn Society for BaroQUEER: Historically Informed. Presented by Carnegie Hall Citywide on the opening night of CQ’s 2025 Pride Festival, Queer Ancestry, and curated by superstar countertenor Reginald Mobley and CQ co-founders Brian Mummert and Jules Biber, this free concert at the Judson Memorial Church asks: whose histories inform the way we play and perceive Baroque music, and what would it mean to center performers’ voices and stories? Featuring music by composers ranging from George Frideric Handel and Jean-Baptiste Lully to Julius Eastman and Caroline Shaw, the program celebrates queer perspectives that have shaped the early music revival and influenced generations of boundary-breaking artists.
