June 13th: Still the Same Love
Announcing our 2026 pride Concert!
This year, TRANScend celebrates Pride by showing love to transgender & queer composers, and sharing their love with you!
Across all the ages of queerness, our love for each other remains constant. Whether in a closet or in a parade, no matter the political environment or our personal hardships, our love keeps us alive and connects us. It’s still the same love.
Bring TRANScend Pride home!
New limited edition shirts are now on sale, featuring our beautiful Pride 2026 Poster, designed by choir member Atlas Lee Reid.
Through the end of June, you can bring some TRANScend love home with you on a t-shirt, sweatshirt or mug!
The TRANScend Chorale presents music inspired by our own members thoughts on queer love, featuring an incredible lineup of trans composers and arrangers including Michael Bussowitz Quarm, Hope Salmonson, and our very own Atlas A. Lee-Reid. The repertoire covers the full range of queer love from the passionate to the bittersweet, subtextual, and platonic, and includes an original piece by our Chorale director Hannah Cai Sobel.
Our Ambassadors ensemble showcases queer love across the ages through liturgical, pop, and new music. From Dominique Phinot, a Franco-Flemish Renaissance composer who was executed for being openly gay, to Sam Smith, the Ambassadors highlight the way queer love thrives in music. Their modern pieces include songs from Suzanne McCoy’s queer musical, “Here I Am,” as well as an original composition by David Sisco & L Morgan Lee, based on interviews with our singers.
As a special treat, we'll introduce our newest ensemble, the TRANScend Cosmopolitans, a trans & GNC barbershop ensemble, led by long-time choir member and chorus medalist barbershopper Mjjah Baez! The TRANScend Cosmopolitans, who will sing arrangements of two oldies-but-goodies that will leave you wanting to join in and try it yourself!
