Friday, May 29, 8 PM

6/20, 7pm, Matthew Aucoin, composer/pianist

William Socolof, bass-baritone: "The Inner Core"

In celebration of Pride Month, composer/pianist and MacArthur Fellow Matthew Aucoin and bass-baritone William Socolof (Boston Symphony Orchestra, New York Philharmonic) perform the regional premiere of The Inner Core, an album-length cycle of love songs, including the world premiere of two newly added pieces. The Inner Core traces the arc of an imagined queer relationship, from adolescence through the couple’s parting in early adulthood. Lyrical and tender, it offers a deeply felt meditation on love and its unraveling. Socolof will return to Hudson Hall next spring to perform in our upcoming production of Handel’s Deidamia, directed by R.B. Schlather.
