Andrew Yee’s Trans Requiem anchors a transcendent concert experience where music rises as a vessel for visibility, pride, and belonging
Andrew Yee’s Trans Requiem, a groundbreaking, first-of-its-kind work for trans voices, choirs, and orchestra, commissioned by Trinity Church NYC. Amplifying the beauty, strength, and diversity of the trans experience, Yee’s powerful writing and deeply personal expression is a stirring testament to the authenticity and dignity of every voice. Before the requiem, the audience is immersed in Samuel Barber’s stunning Agnus Dei /Adagio for Strings and Pauline Oliveros’s A World Wide Tuning Meditation, a work that brings everyone in the church space together in a shared act of listening, presence and collective compassion.
