we’re coming out…
Join us as playOUT! takes it’s next step as a 501(c)(3) non-profit!
This June, in honor of Pride Month, we're coming OUT in a bold way — and inviting you to join us!
playOUT! has been amplifying queer voices in classical music since 2018, and we’re proud to announce that we are now an official 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Our mission is to uplift and celebrate LGBTQIA+ artistry in classical music. Through powerful performances, commissioned works, and meaningful community partnerships, we’re creating space for queer voices to thrive — not just on stage, but in the cultural fabric of our society.
Every dollar raised supports:
🎵 New commissions by queer composers
🎭 Inclusive performances that center LGBTQIA+ stories
🤝 Community partnerships with aligned organizations
💝 25% of our concert proceeds going directly to orgs that share our values of equity, inclusion, and artistic empowerment
Help us build a more vibrant, representative, and radically inclusive classical music world.
This June, let’s come OUT together — louder, prouder, and more committed than ever.
Donate today. Celebrate pride. Amplify queer artistry.
What a night!

One of a kind…
playOUT! is a pioneering non-profit dedicated to amplifying LGBTQIA artistry in classical music. Through performances, commissioned works, and partnerships, we break barriers and create space for queer voices to thrive in the classical world.
