In our 2018-2019 season, QUO presents We Are Queer. Our first concert, Never Back Down, explores how tenacity in our lives is reflected in music — from the multiple versions Beethoven and Brahms needed before they were satisfied with these works to the pioneering works of openly gay composers Gerald Busby and Julius Eastman.

• Eastman: Stay On It
• Beethoven: Leonore Overture No. 3
• Busby: 3 Bagatelles for Orchestra (WORLD PREMIERE)
• Brahms: Piano Concerto No. 1

We are thrilled to welcome Michael Sheppard as our soloist in the Brahms.

Join us at 3:15 PM for a pre-concert talk with artistic director Julie Desbordes, assistant director Alex Wen, guest soloist Michael Sheppard, and composer Gerald Busby.
