Undivided is a concert celebrating the trans community, embracing the fluidity of gender and the wholeness of identity beyond the confines of binaries. The pinnacle of this bold celebration of authenticity and resilience is the world premiere of Andrew Yee’s Trans Requiem, a work for trans voices, choirs, and orchestra commissioned by Trinity Church. Amplifying the beauty, strength, and diversity of the trans experience, Yee’s powerful writing and deeply personal expression offer a moving testament to identity, affirming the dignity of every voice. With stunning harmonies and poignant text, Trans Requiem will be complemented by a Trinity arrangement of Barber’s stunning Agnus Dei (Adagio for Strings) and Sonic Meditations by Pauline Oliveros that will bring together everyone in the church space as performers and collaborators. Undivided will invite the audience into a space of empathy and transformation, where music is a vessel for visibility, pride, and belonging.
