“Hawking Radiation” Premiere by BMOP

Yu-Hui’s latest orchestral piece “Hawking Radiation” will be premiered by Boston Modern Orchestra Project (BMOP) on May 25 at Jordan Hall in Boston. Also on the program are pieces by Leonard Bernstein, Harold Shapero, and Henri Lazarof. Conceived when the first black hole image was released in 2019, and completed during the time when the Covid pandemic was at its height, “Hawking Radiation” is a search for hope. Hope that human goodness will prevail when the world is in turmoil, just like the glowing light surrounding the darkest black hole.
