unheard voices first concert into the dark side

Choral Advocates, People

Hola, people! My name is Carlos Cordero, and I am the artistic director and founder of Un/heard. Let me tell you a bit about us:

We gather people through choral music to elevate the voices of our LGBTQ+ community.

Un/heard’s story began in 2023 with our first concert, Into the Darkness. We had a wonderful evening talking about the misuse of the word ‘dark' to refer to negative things (going to the dark side, hiding your dark side) and to bring awareness to the alarming statistics of deaths by suicides in our LGBTQ+ community.

Our goal with this first concert was to invite our community to be aware of the struggles that our LGBTQ+ community suffers amidst an unsupportive environment and to help them see the power that we have to be embracing, caring, and a positive presence in each other’s lives.

Agents of Action

As we embark on our second and last concert of this season, we feel lucky to find people who support our mission and want to find ways, whether financially or by sharing their skills, to help us take our message further.

Our upcoming concert, Stop Shooting, will bring awareness not only to gun violence and hate crimes towards our LGBTQ+ community, especially the transgender community but also make a statement that we have the power now to change this awful reality with deliberate acts of kindness.

Texas is a difficult place to be if you are part of the LGBTQ+ community and our concerts unite all those allies who can help make a change.
