Building Bridges CD Release
One Voice is making a difference – in our lives, within the GLBT community and for lasting societal change. During 2004-2005, One Voice put this mission into practice.
Our lives were changed through collaborations with the Twin Cities’ Community Gospel Choir, Rural Aids Action Network, the Minnesota Philharmonic Orchestra, and several St. Paul high-school choirs. Our January 2005 Building Bridges concert with Kairos Dance Theatre, incorporated music and stories from our fall collaborations and northern MN outreach tour.
In April 2004, One Voice founded TransVoices, the Twin Cities' first transgender community chorus. Together, we explored issues of gender in an effort to more fully embrace the full spectrum of our GLBT identity. Songs from Blurring the Lines: Music and Gender are also featured on this album.
