Join Danielle & Brian to croon the night away - this time, the theme is Sing for Your Seltzer Bring an iPad if you have one, and a favorite song - defined VERY broadly - to share with the class. Rockstar pianist provided, or BYOP if you have a favored collaborator. Given our effervescent theme, extra points if your song has a connection to NYC…
We’re requesting a $10 donation per person to help us pay our wonderful pianist a fair wage - but as always, CQ events are open to ALL, regardless of ability to pay.

Bring an iPad if you have one, and your excitement for queer community... we’ll see you there!

The New Consort: FLUNG FROM THE GARDEN
CQ cofounder Brian's vocal ensemble, The New Consort, is releasing their debut album, Flung from the Garden next month - and celebrating with a concert at Merkin Hall! Drawing on themes of otherness, exclusion, and hope for reconciliation, Flung from the Garden traverses repertoire from the Renaissance to the present day to contextualize its centerpiece, Jonathan Woody's Lamentation. Woody’s breathtaking, Tudor-inspired constellation of poetry and found text, commissioned for The New Consort, explores the complexity of the queer experience in 2026 America - both its challenges and its unexpected joys. The evening also features students from Special Music School, showcasing the results of their ensemble-singing workshops with The New Consort this fall.
