Memoirs of a Gaysian explores the unique stories and perspectives of Queer-Asian artists. Too often, queerness and Asian identity are compartmentalized—same-sex marriage remains inaccessible in many Asian countries, and traditional family values have long silenced LGBTQ+ voices within the community. Highlighting works by queer and Asian composers and librettists, singers Spencer Britten and Chuanyuan Liu and pianist Jeremy Chan juxtapose songs and arias from the standard repertoire with music by living composers. The beautiful union of queer and Asian identities in composer Dylan Trấn’s song cycle Ba, a setting of poetry by Ocean Vuong, intermingles with pieces by Brian C. Armbrust, Huang Ruo, Alice Ping Yee Ho, and more.
