ABOUT TRANS CHORUS OF LOS ANGELES

Since 2015, Trans Chorus of Los Angeles (TCLA) has made an impact in the choral world by using our unique voices to be visible, bold, and proud. TCLA is the premiere all Trans-identified chorus in America. We are a Chorus of transgender, gender non-conforming, gender non-binary, gender fluid, and intersex individuals. We celebrate diversity and acceptance in appearance and vocal presentation so that others can see and feel the joy we share. Through our music, we bring to everyone awareness, understanding, power and VICTORY for the Trans community. Our vision is, through song and our voices, to embrace all members of the trans community and to bring awareness of the trans experience by developing understanding, caring, and support in the community at large.
