SARATOGA SPRINGS — The Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College announces What If We’re Beautiful, a celebration of queer joy and community through chamber music and dance, staging at 5 p.m. on Saturday, April 5. The event is the second performance in the Adirondack Trust New Works Series at the Tang Museum.

The performance features new choreography and dance by Brian Lawson and Aaron Loux that is set to a five-part composition by Daniel Thomas Davis, performed live by Hub New Music, with its distinctive instrumentation of flute, clarinet, violin, and cello. The event marks Hub New Music’s first live performance with Lawson and Loux’s dance. 

The performance, which is followed by a reception, is part of a two-day gathering that celebrates a field of bloom and hum and includes artist talks and screenings of experimental films.
