Black Tulip Chorale, St. Louis’s LGBTQIA+ chorus for all voices, announces the opening performance of its eighth season presenting music of women composers from around the world.
3 P.M., Sunday, May 18, 2025
First Presbyterian Church of Kirkwood
100 E. Adams, Kirkwood, MO 63122
The concert celebrates three centuries of music bearing witness to the brilliance and artistry of women composers who are all too often marginalized or overlooked. At the heart of this concert are several works by QUEEN LILIʻUOKALANI, the last reigning monarch of the Hawaiian Kingdom. While she is best remembered for the timeless “Aloha ‘Oe”, she wrote over 165 pieces. We're honored also to present the St. Louis premiere appearance of STARR KALAHIKI, one of Hawaiʻi’s favorite artists. Active in many genres on stage and in the recording studio, Starr also performs as part of The Liliʻu Project, perpetuating the music and legacy of the Queen.
