THEM Youth Ensemble is Tucson’s first LGBTQ+ youth music ensemble and is open to singers ages 13-24. Launched in January 2019, THEM offers explicitly gender-affirming music education and prioritizes creating a culture of self-acceptance for all participants. In its aim of creating excellent musical opportunities for people of all genders, THEM joins an emerging wave of choruses oriented around gender diversity and making space for singers who have historically been implicitly or explicitly excluded from choral music. As a partnership with SAAF’s Thornhill Lopez Center on 4th, THEM participants receive access to crucial support services such as a food pantry, gender-affirming clothing pantry, free bus passes, sexual health resources, and a variety of other education programming.
