ChamberQUEER 2025: Queer Ancestry
Friends! We are SO excited to announce our 2025 Pride festival: Queer Ancestry. In this moment of turmoil and fear, not just for the LGBTQ+ community but for so many marginalized communities in America, we're proud to provide a safe space for people to gather and express themselves. CQ 2025: Queer Ancestry is a chance to learn from our musical forebears, but also an opportunity to consider what kind of ancestors WE hope to be for future generations of queer people. As always, events are either free or pay-what-you-wish - we want the whole queer community to have access to our work. Reach out here or at hello@chamberqueer.org if you have questions.
We can’t wait to see you there!
The Rhythm Method: Resistance Strategies
What does resistance sound like? Co-presented by The Rhythm Method and ChamberQUEER, this program gives voice to queer liberation struggles and radicalism, journeying through a whirlwind of anger, fear, unbridled joy, and resilience.
The premiere of “Glitter, Shards of Rain” by Cristiano Melli connects the 1969 Stonewall riots to the composer’s lived experience of growing up gay in Brazil. Abi Prían-Gallardo’s new work, “Barracas,” responds to the traumatic lesbophobic murders of three women in Buenos Aires in May of 2024. Works by Leah Asher and Erica Navarro stretch to emotional extremities. Finally, Hannah Kendall’s “How ruin nested…” responds to the tragic homophobic murders of two men in their Dallas, TX home in 2011. We met Abi & Erica through our Open Submission process, and can't wait for The Rhythm Method to share their music with you!

Co-curated by superstar countertenor Reginald Mobley and CQ cofounders Brian Mummert and Jules Biber, this concert asks: "whose histories inform the way we play and perceive Baroque music, and what would it mean to center performers’ voices and stories?"
