Jorge Martín’s Before Night Falls" class="css-u850">Before Night Falls is based on the autobiography of Reinaldo Arenas (which has also been made into a major motion picture starring Javier Bardem). Reinaldo experienced childhood poverty, joy in nature, a stint with the guerillas, international acclaim as a writer, imprisonment as a political dissident (and unapologetically gay man), a daring escape from Cuba, and exile in the U.S. Arenas is determined to stave off death to finish his memoir “Before Night Falls.” The book was published posthumously to great acclaim in 1993.

Before Night Falls

National Hispanic Cultural Center

Though our visibility has evolved over time, the creative contributions of the Queer community have been ever-present. Throughout history we have told our stories, sometimes implicitly coded into larger tales or even offered with our queerness removed altogether.

A message from Brian James Myer, baritone: Though our visibility has evolved over time, the creative contributions of the LGBTQ+ community have been ever present. Throughout history we have told our stories, sometimes implicitly coded into larger tales or even offered with elements of our identity removed altogether. Yet still we share them. This program is an exploration of the voices of composers and poets, past and present, who have loved without convention, including two world premiere song cycles by composers Iain Bell and Brian James Myer with texts by Verlaine, Rimbaud, and Jay St. Flono.
