DESCRIPTION:On Sunday\, April 26th\, Transpose will perform their Spring co
 ncert “Until All of Us are Free”\, at 4:00 PM at St. Luke’s Church\,
  at 109 Oak Ave.\n \nUntil All of Us are Free is a proclamation to the wo
 rld that we will stand together and sing\, no matter how hard life gets or
  who tries to silence us.  Featuring their signature range of musical sty
 les from a song rooted in Macedonian folk music to turn-of-the-century que
 er punk rock\, each song cements our need for community\, music\, and for 
 each other. Included in the concert\, are original compositions\, like Pol
 yrhythms\, a melodic homage to polyrhythmic music and polyamory by former 
 director Jonah Hirst\, as well as Lazarus Drug\, an adaptation of an indie
 -pop song younger fans and their folks recognize from the TV show Bluey. A
 lways aiming to honor icons and send the audience home with light hearts\,
  the evening will also include a medley of Dolly Parton toe-tappers. \n 
 \nThe concert is conducted and directed by Co-Directors Avery Saccente  a
 nd Miles Ludeck. The choir will be accompanied by Miles Ludeck on piano. 
 \n \nAVERY SACCENTE (she/her) is so thrilled to make beautiful music with
  her queer community! After graduating college with a bachelors in music\,
  she's been trapped in the throes of food service purgatory\, lacking a co
 mmunity to share her love of choral music until last year\, when she moved
  to Ithaca and joined Transpose!\nShe's run the gamut of musical experienc
 es\, from high school show choir to Verdi's requiem\, to singing with the 
 Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus. Her proudest achievement\, thou
 gh\, is getting to lead her dearest friends and community in joyful song! 
 At home\, she obsesses over tabletop roleplaying games and making fun of h
 er adorable black cat Oliver.\n \nMILES LUDECK (he/him) is honored and de
 lighted to take on directing duties for his second season with Transpose! 
 Originally from Rochester\, NY\, Miles is a lifelong choral singer\, begin
 ning with the Bach Children's Chorus. Miles has sung with Rochester-based 
 Madrigalia and Ithaca Community Chorus/Chamber Singers\, and is currently 
 a member of Cayuga Vocal Ensemble under Dr. Sean Linfors. Miles also plays
  piano/keyboards for musical theatre productions with Walking on Water Pro
 ductions\, Ithaca City School District\, and most recently for the Hangar 
 Theatre's production of Waitress. Miles is grateful to have the opportunit
 y to expand into choral directing with such a welcoming and forgiving grou
 p\, and hopes to exercise some creativity with Transpose going forward!\n\
