Semiosis Quartet Presents:

Howl: An Evening of Music by Boston Based Composers

December 11, 2025

7:30pm - 9:00pm

Join Semiosis Quartet and special guest Brian Church for a presentation of the late Lee Hyla’s monumental work Howl for Narrator and String Quartet alongside works by two of Hyla’s students from his time at New England Conservatory, Stefanie Lubkowski and Curtis Hughes.

This program offers deep dives into sonic landscapes that can enrich and occasionally challenge our perceptions of time, a critique of post-war American society that is as applicable now as ever, and a connection to the city of Cambridge, the home of both Lubkowski and Hughes.

This event is FREE, with suggestion donations.

Register online for free and donate (optional) by Credit/Debit/PayPal/Venmo. You may also register in-person at the show and donate via Cash/Debit/PayPal/Venmo/Check. (Advance registrations and donations greatly appreciated.)
