No Cabaret Is Without Grief: InfraSound Ensemble Performs Lavender Nights

“We’re not afraid to be queer and different. / If that means hell, well hell we’ll take the chance. / They’re all so straight, uptight, upright, and rigid.

Lavender night, our greatest treasure, where we can be just who we want to be.”
