Tempo Queer is a new initiative that is important in our culture, as it celebrates stories from our LGBTIQ+ community. The telling of stories from this vibrant and diverse group of people is of great importance for our culture, for our lives, and for the principles of equality - especially as for so many years, these stories were legally oppressed and prohibited. For this third concert in the Tempo Queer series, Coady Green and Kyla Matsuura-Miller present a kaleidoscopic program of works from LGBTIQ+ composers, including three exciting new world premieres and the Australian premiere of Jennifer Higdon's virtuosic String Poetic.
