STANCE will be performing for Trans Day of Remembrance for the fourth year in a row. In the Light of Their Names begins in mourning, but carries us forward towards healing and joy. By remembering and singing the names of those we have lost, we not only honor their lives, but we reclaim life itself.

personally speaking, in 2025, how could anyone argue against anything made by a human to NOT be art when the alternative is so lifeless? it's what defines our intentional output into the world.

Dr. Rosephanye Powell is a master of texture. Watch how she turns a unison melody into dense 4-voice counterpoint.

Comment below: are you a soprano plum? or does your music folder have a rip in it?

Gender is complex! STANCE allows members to change their vocal part in accordance with their voice and what feels best for them.

STANCE is continuing to grow rapidly and we’re expecting over 100 singers this concert! To allow for growth, we have decided to rent a larger rehearsal space that is more accessible physically and near light rail. We are looking for monthly donors. Can you pitch in? donorbox.org/stance_rehea...

While our choir is 100% trans/nonbinary, our music is for everyone! We love performing for all types of audiences and sharing our voices.

Volunteers are welcome, no matter their gender identity!

“I am physically a man, yet spiritually and intellectually I am neither a man nor woman.”

Maude Milbourne wrote this in 1905. Before she wrote this, she fought for the Union in the Civil War, attended music school, and became a professor.

From @elierlick.bsky.social ‘s book Before Gender!

We began our Pride 2025 concert with this beautiful work by Michael Bussewitz-Quarm (she/they). Her music focuses on the powerful change we can create through song.

I am a Voice that Sings by Michael Bussewitz-Quarm. Text by Ronald W Cadmus.
