Join us for a one-of-a-kind performance featuring award winning drag queen Tara Hoot and District5, a local wind quintet with a decade-long commitment to championing new works.
Drawing inspiration from the library’s collections of banned books and queer histories—on display for one night only— The Queen-tet Project: A Symphonic Drag Story Hour will be centered around a new work, "Gorgeously, You!" by Maryland-based composer Christen Taylor Holmes. A whimsical depiction of 21st century life advice from a drag queen’s perspective, the new work will be performed alongside Carrie Jacobs-Bond’s rarely heard "Half Minute Songs.
While this performance is aimed at adults, all ages are welcome. Come enjoy a fabulous evening of storytelling, music, and drag in one of the world’s most beautiful libraries!
