Description

ChamberQUEER Oct. 13, 2021 • 7:30 p.m. Music on the Square ChamberQUEER was founded in 2018 by Jules Biber, Danielle Buonaiuto, Brian Mummert, and Andrew Yee, with a mission to program queer artists and composers; highlight historically under-represented queer figures in classical music; and provide an inclusive and intersectional space in classical music for artists and audience alike. ChamberQUEER launched with a workshop performance at Branded Saloon, in Brooklyn, NY, in February 2019. Its first major event was ChamberQUEER 2019, a three-day festival in Brooklyn, NY during Pride Month. The second annual festival was cancelled due to COVID-19. Instead, ChamberQUEER hosted ChamberQUEERantine, a sixteen-day broadcast event of over 50 queer artists. The October 13 concert features Attacca Quaret member Andrew Yee and guest performer Caroline Shaw as part of the Green Guest Artist Series. This engagement is supported by the Arts Midwest GIG Fund, a program of Arts Midwest that is funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, with additional contributions from the Indiana Arts Commission. DePauw students are uncommonly engaged in their education, and DePauw is one of those rare places that attracts and trains students who have multiple talents. The classic DePauw student is not just an exemplary scholar, but also a team captain, the student body president, and a community service leader. DePauw students are social, and they are welcoming. They are open to each other and to the world. DePauw students have a sense of joy in life, and a curiosity about themselves, about each other, and about the world. Our talented faculty offer our students personal attention in small classes, helping them hone their thinking, skills, and abilities in order to build a sound foundation for future success. DePauw's School of Music offers talented musicians the opportunity to develop their skills while receiving all the benefits of a strong liberal arts education. The DePauw University School of Music was founded in 1884 as the sixth music school in the United States. Its acclaimed 21st-Century Musician™ Initiative, known as 21CM™, and its uniquely impactful 21CMposium™ have established the school as a national leader in new approaches to music education and performance. 21CM re-imagines how undergraduate music curricula connects the high intellectual and performance standards of academic and conservatory training with the open-ended creative energy of the entrepreneur and artist when preparing emerging artists and developing musician-leaders.
