It’s Pride season! And as we all dust off our rainbow attire and make parade plans, much of this LGBTQ-dedicated month is soundtracked by the pop divas and divos whose music queer people have found solace in. Whether you were roma, roma-ma-ing to Lady Gaga or Got to Be Real-ing with Cheryl Lynn, certain singers and celebrities preached self-love and acceptance in a way that spoke directly to our queer hearts.
In that spirit, Puget Soundworks Choir, an all-gender, LGBTQIA+ centered chorus, has put together a Queer Icons performance, honoring queer, iconic musicians during this Pride month. While someone doesn’t necessarily need to be queer to be a queer icon, this performance is primarily focused on musicians who are also part of the community. The chorus will sing renditions of Freddie Mercury’s larger-than-life hits, Brandi Carlile’s intimate tunes, and Mary Lambert’s velvety tracks, as well as songs by emerging queer artists. Although this is certainly a joyous celebration, I’d recommend bringing a handkerchief to blot out any tears that may swell up—music is powerful!
