Transcendent Souls is a concert series that aims to celebrate trans artistry and illuminate the intersection of values central to trans and Christian religious communities, such as the sacredness of the human body, cosmic inheritance, and transness as participating in the divine act of creation. This third chapter continues to explore the intersection of transness, spirituality, and religion with a queer reimagining of the Ordinary of the Mass. This concert features pieces for singing cellist J Holzen, with works by Jacqui Armbruster, Benjamin Britten, Caroline Polachek, Yaz Lancaster, and Holzen.
