Boston-based ensemble Castle of our Skins return to the Gardner with special guest Nathalie Joachim, a “powerful and unpretentious” voice in contemporary music, according to the New York Times. Works by living women composers of color form a breathtaking collage of reflections on lineage, history, and belonging.
