Music and song is something that transcends sexuality and gender, but society hasn’t always seen it that way. The Pink Singers are on a mission to change that, but have they always been that way?
In this episode, Josi, a Pinkie performance poet who transitioned in their sixties, guides us through the history of choir members who go beyond the binary. Drawing on her own experience as a trans woman and police detective, she takes us through how voice parts aren’t the only thing that’s changed within the choir.
Sing it Pink! is an Aunt Nell production for the Pink Singers. You can find out more about the Pink Singers at https://www.pinksingers.co.uk/ or follow them on Instagram or X @pinksingers.
