A Radical Welcome: Source Code!
Join us on Thu May 22 2025 at 7:30 PM for an unforgettable event at the Strand Theatre located on Columbia Road in Boston, MA, USA.
This years A Radical Welcome is titled Source Code, borrowed from Jessie Montgomery's composition of the same name which opens the program . The extraordinary energy within Source Code extends throughout the program which showcases five women composers including:
- Melanie Bonis (1858-1957)
- Amy Beach (1867-1944)
- Gabriela Lena Frank (b. 1972)
- Jessie Montgomery (b. 1981)
- Eleanor Alberga (b.1949)
As audience participation is core to BPQ’s presentations, the musicians will moderate conversations with the concert-goers following each piece, getting to the bottom of where the music comes from and what it means to us.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to be a part of a community that values inclusivity, diversity, and empowerment.
Come and explore the Source Code of a truly A Radical Welcome!

Featuring Díjí Kay
Known for his soulful tone and mesmerizing phrasing, Trevor James Alto Flute Artist Díjí Kay (née DeShaun Gordon-King) has given performances as a soloist and principal flute in Europe, Asia, and throughout the United States. Díjí Kay grew up surrounded by griot traditions, jazz and gospel music. Inspired by the worlds and traditions of his upbringing, Díjí Kay grew passionate about programming that blends them all together to create unique and memorable concert experiences.
As he continued to expand his musical versatility, Díjí Kay also went inward to cultivate his spiritual practice. It was through these meditations that he understood how he wanted to use his art. Following this epiphany, Díjí Kay moved to Cambridge to pursue a Performance Diploma from the Longy School of Music where he worked with Sergio Pallottelli where he would also be able to study therapeutic music.
During his time in Boston, Díjí Kay has collaborated with Castle of Our Skins, the Celebrity Series of Boston, Shelter Music Boston, Juventas New Music Ensemble, the Boston Children's Chorus, and the American Repertory Theatre. He has also been featured on GBH. A graduate of the Longy School of Music and Harvard Ed Portal Pipeline Artist Fellow, Díjí Kay’s work and studies center around synergizing the principles of therapeutic music, sound healing, and performance practice to curate healing and transformative concert experiences.
