About this Event
What if family is not something we inherit, but something we choose and create together? Presented during Pride Month, What If We’re Beautiful explores identity, belonging, home, and chosen family through the lens of queer experience.
Musicians from Hub New Music and concertnova come together as a single chamber ensemble for a program that moves from introspection toward connection and queer joy. Eve Beglarian’s I Will Not Be Sad in This World opens the evening as an intimate invocation, followed by music by Jennifer Higdon, Benjamin Britten, and Julius Eastman. The program culminates in Daniel Thomas Davis’s What If We’re Beautiful, a collection of musical gifts created for members of the composer’s chosen family. Together, these works celebrate the relationships through which we become fully known and imagine family as an act of love, trust, and mutual care.
