Hey all! As my first year in grad school winds to a close, I’m super pumped to share a recording from one of the big projects I’ll be working on in my second year. Defiant, Majestic, and Beautiful is a theatrical song cycle about people who face transmisogyny, ranging from advice on dissociation to an ode to salt. I performed the finale — a prophetic vision of a possible future — at a cabaret last week, and there’s a video recording of it! Watch it below, or click on over to YouTube for performer information and the complete lyrics.

This is the finale from my song-cycle-in-progress, "Defiant, Majestic, and Beautiful". Performed on 17 May, 2017 in the NYU/Tisch GMTWP Black Box Theatre. Brin Solomon [they/them] voice Patrick Thompson [he/him] piano Lyrics: When Alex invited me to hir New Year's party, I wasn't sure I would go.
