This free Chamber Music Performance by some of the world's most talented music graduate students studying at Tanglewood Music Center is an amazing opportunity to hear really creative contemporary chamber music pieces (listed below) as part of Tanglewood's Festival of Contemporary Music. These works are a great sampling of some of the best works composed by extraordinary Gen Z composers, including Maya Miro Johnson who identifies proudly as a queer composer & performer. These works will be performed by leading Gen Z peformers, some of whom no doubt are LGBTQ+.
