The Boston Public Quartet (BPQ) will present A Radical Welcome: Source Code, a program celebrating the music of five landmark women composers from the late romantic period to the present, at The Strand Theatre on Thursday, May 22nd at 7:30pm. “Pay What You Want” tickets are available at bostonpublicquartet.com.
This year’s event is subtitled Source Code, borrowed from Jessie Montgomery’s composition of the same name which opens the program. In addition to being Musical America’s 2023 Composer of the Year and a Grammy-winning composer, violinist, and educator, Hinkle describes Jessie as “a close friend of the BPQ.”
The five women showcased are French composer Melanie Bonis (1858-1937), Boston’s own Amy Beach (1867-1944), along with contemporary composers Peruvian-American Gabriela Lena Frank, Jamaican-British Eleanor Alberga OBE, and Montgomery.
