Trans Classical Music Yesterday and Today
Join Aiden K. Feltkamp (they/he) for a conversation including topics such as trans composers and their music. Attendees will learn (and listen to!) music being written today by trans composers and for trans signers. Along the way, you'll learn how to better support trans people in music through accessible composing, inclusive choral language, and more! Seminar to be held via Zoom tentatively scheduled for May 8 at 7:00 PM EST. Aiden began their artistic life at the age of 5 playing a quarter-size cello and now they’re "upending preconceptions about voice and gender" (New York Times) as a trans nonbinary writer and equity specialist. Aiden recently conceived of and curated the award-winning Anthology of New Music for Trans & Nonbinary Voices, Vol. 1 for NewMusicShelf. This is the first vocal anthology to center transgender and nonbinary voices – serving vocal teachers searching for new repertoire for their studios, presenters expanding the diversity of their programming, and singers of any gender seeking out new works.
