Composer Description
What is your World? was written in collaboration with Queer saxophonists and the wider Queer community. The goal of the work was to give voice to Queer voices from across the world (or at least the internet). As Queer folk, we are often times silenced and our opinions are made to be irrelevant. In asking the question, “What is your world?” my goal was to show that our worlds are more than our sexuality: we are a diverse community, we have agency to speak up when we want, and agency to stay quiet when we want. The following 117 words and phrases were provided anonymously by members of the Queer community, and have all made their way into the piece. What is Your World? was commissioned by Grace Gelpi, McCall Kochevar, Jared Waters, and Ella Marchetti.
The goal of the piece is to show the audience that they have creativity even if they do not think they do. They CANNOT be wrong, and WILL NOT ever make me unhappy. Participation is ALWAYS encouraged but NEVER required.
