Black Tulip Chorale

4Black Tulip Chorale was established in 2018 as St. Louis’ first LGBTQ+ all-expression, all-gender, all-identity, all-orientation mixed voice (SATB) choral organization. BTC’s mission advocates for social consciousness through excellence in the performance of choral music while providing an affirming environment for all regardless of expression, gender, identity, or orientation. Within the first anniversary of its founding, it presented Gabriel Faure’s “Requiem” and Randall Thompson's “Frostiana”, rarely performed in its entirety.
