Overview
Dena Underwood will organize the Love Choir, which will bring together a community of individuals with various identities, ages, genders and sexualities. The Love Choir will prioritize voices that have been marginalized because they don’t fit within the “traditional” gender assigned voices. The choir will be the manifestation of a Philadelphia vocal community that includes and showcases a beautiful range of voices and those who posses them.
