“[Transcendent Souls] brought the familiarity of a house show and the impactful nature of a motivational speech. The experience was moving, inspiring, and an evening well spent.”

Transcendent Souls: A Celebration of Trans Identity and Sound
Transcendent Souls: A Celebration of Trans Identity and Sound is a sensory-friendly concert of works by trans composers performed by trans musicians. In collaboration with Wicker Park Lutheran Church, this concert aims to celebrate trans artistry and highlight themes such as the sacredness of the human body, cosmic inheritance, and transness as participating in the divine act of creation. Come and hear works for string quartet and solo cello that draw inspiration and quotations from medieval and renaissance music and allude to the cosmic connection between human bodies, the earth, and the heavens.
Many thanks to Wicker Park Lutheran Church for welcoming us and to the Negaunee Music Institute at the Chicago Symphony Orchestra for their generous support.
