Last Saturday, the Berlin-based collective, Queens Against Borders, celebrated its 10-year anniversary: a decade of bringing queer, trans, refugee, and migrant performers together through events, club culture, and community. They re-united artists and long time supporters for an evening of discussions, visual art, music, dance, and elevated snacks at Portal Galerie, Alte Münze.
"Quartets 3+4" is an ode to the beauty of the string quartet. Placed in a contemporary context, Peter Gregson balances electronics with the traditional richness of the quartet. In doing so, he questions how we perceive and compose classical music in the 21st century. Elana Shapiro sits down with Gregson to discuss the Quartets album project, his experience of composing for film and more broadly, the past few years of his career.
