TRANScend & Lavender Light present a musical cultural exchange of gospel & queerness! Featuring the work of Hall Johnson, noted by Bayard Rustin as one of his own gay role models, this collaboration seeks to uplifting Johnson’s legacy in our shared communities, and highlight the queerness that has largely been erased from his legacy. 

Lavender Light Gospel Choir is dedicated to keeping alive the black gospel music tradition in an environment supportive to lesbian and gay people, with a special ministry to black lesbians and gays. Through our performances and recordings, we seek to uplift, entertain and educate. We strive to be a visible force in this world, offering strength, peace and hope to our members and to our audiences. 

There are many invisible cultural walls between marginalized identities, and we believe that singing together is one of the most beautiful and accessible ways to build intersectional strength. Join TRANScend & Lavender light for an uplifting community concert celebrating queerness, transness, Blackness, and the beauty of faith and community.

For this special event, TRANScend & Lavender Light welcome guest conductor, Chris Cayari.

This concert is free & open to the public; A love offering will be taken to cover concert costs
