The skinny:

Come support our multi-talented members through performing arts and help us raise funds for our first season’s operating costs. Buy your sliding scale tickets now for in-person or online attendance. Masks are required indoors. No smoking on site please.
At STANCE (Seattle Trans and Nonbinary Choral Ensemble), a community by and for trans and nonbinary singers, we have a vision of sharing the unique wonders of trans joy with the world. Through our music, both singers and audiences can find embodiment and connect to our full selves, physical and emotional. But to keep building this dream into a reality, we need your help.
Renting a building to rehearse and perform, hiring an accompanist, and buying singer supplies like masks requires funds that we currently don’t have. We’ve been applying for lots of grants, but so far, none have come through. Our initial crowdfunding campaigns generated about half of our startup costs, and we will not be able to make it to our June show without some financial help. That is where this fundraiser comes in.
