Where to see Transcend This Season

Tomorrow 11/11: Queer Voices Sung

The first ever musical presented by TRANScend & The Flea will premiere this month! Written by our founder, Dr. Felix Graham, and featuring many TRANScend singers, we are so excited to present this story about queer life in the 1930s, and staying connected to queer history.
December Performances
12/20: Wintergrace - a TRANScend Holiday Concert
Tickets are up for our annual Holiday concert! Wintergrace offers a moment of grace: for the things we meant to do, tried to do, forgot to. For the postponed resolutions, half-finished projects, the triumphs and the losses. Join us as we take a breath, admire the lights & ornaments, and wish for a little snow to even out our imperfections.
In this spirit of grace, TRANScend explores a variety of classical & folk songs, including unique settings of familiar tunes, modern choral arrangements honoring the winter season, and a brand-new piece composed by our conductor, Hannah Cai-Sobel, and arranged collaboratively by the Chorale. Taking its name from an Appalachian arrangement by Kevin Siegfried, our program features pieces by Oliver Tarney, Reena Esmail, Ola Gjeilo and others as a meditation on the profound beauty of winter, and the comfort we can provide each other through the darkest time of year.
