Red Eye NY

Memoirs of a Gaysian speaks to the unique stories and perspectives of Queer-Asian experiences. Highlighting Queer and Asian composers and librettists, this recital program incorporates songs and arias from the traditional classical music canon, as well as works from living composers.

Being Asian and being Queer are often compartmentalized— traditional family values and limited accessibility to same-sex marriages in Asian countries result in many LGBTQ+ people being silenced. Join us for an afternoon where Queer-Asian artists unite these two worlds, sharing their unique stories and perspectives with you.
