A New Light - the debut concert of the Spectrum Ensemble - celebrates the start of our journey advocating for increased Queer representation in classical music.
In this program we shed a new light on the queer identity of some of your favorite composers like Leonard Bernstein and Samuel Barber. We also perform world premiers of works specially commissioned by four wonderful LGBTQ composers who produce some of the most exciting new music of our time.
By drawing attention to the lineage of Queer composers through the last century, we shed a new light on how significant LGBTQA+ individuals have been in the world of classical music.
