Queer Ensemble Project, founded by Mina Kim and Sam Kelder in 2024, is an initiative to uplift and celebrate queer artistry in the greater Boston area; to bring to the forefront LGBTQ+ performers and composers, amplify their individual voices; and start conversations between performers and audience with the ambition of building a stronger community around music – particularly audiences of LGBTQ+ youth and elders who may experience the need for community the greatest.
Queer Ensemble Project presents a concert program that traces the meaningful journey of self-discovery, the process of coming into one’s own over time. Through music by Haydn, Barber, and living composers Caroline Shaw, Gareth Farr, Inti Figgis-Vizueta, and TJ Cole, we embark on a musical journey that wanders, transforms, and rises into light - over the rainbow.

Silver Sapphics at The Pryde!
The Pryde Community Center, 59 Harvard Ave, Boston, MA, USSilver Sapphics is a casual participant led drop-in group created to offer a safe, affirming, and inclusive space for Lesbian, Bi, Queer women. This includes Trans and Non-Binary women who are attracted to women. Sapphic is a broad, umbrella term that typically describes women, nonbinary people, and feminine-aligned individuals who experience attraction to other women or femmes. The word is inspired by the ancient Greek poet Sappho, who wrote emotional and romantic poetry about women from the island of Lesbos.
Whether you’re looking for community, conversation, or simply some company, this group is here for you. Come gather with us for friendly chats and new friendships! Connect with like-minded individuals within the community in a shared safe space. We hope that the connections you build during these groups can be taken and built upon outside of the group to help enrich your personal community.
As a participant-led group, we encourage members to bring topics that are important and relevant to discuss with their peers. Silver Sapphics is a social group, however, we encourage discussions between individuals and as a group to help you connect with peers with similar interests. We understand that everyone may not be comfortable bringing up certain topics, so we want to provide a way for folks to submit their ideas to be brought up in the groups. You can submit your ideas here.
You are not required to share if you do not connect with a certain topic.This group will be held every third Tuesday at The Pryde from 10 AM-12 PM. There will be coffee and tea available.
The Pryde is accessible by car, commuter rail (Fairmount or Providence Line) and MBTA bus (32 or 50 bus routes).
Parking: There is free street parking on a first come first served basis. Additionally, there is a free municipal parking lot 1 block away from The Pryde Community Center. This lot is across from the Hyde Park Branch of The Boston Public Library.
