A week from Saturday, Different Stars: A Reckoning with Time, Trauma and Circumstance — a new LGBTQ song cycle for four voices composed/written by Karl Saint Lucy — will be performed by some of NYC's leading cabaret and music stars.

Look and listen for James Jackson Jr., Victoria Huston-Elem, Danielle Buonaiuto and Karl Saint Lucy to bring this new work to life.

Directed by Raquel Cion, the webcast is free, and will benefit the charity QORDS, dedicated to LGBTQ youth ages 12-17 in the American South.

The free livestream happens Saturday, August 15, at 7 p.m. ET. HERE.

More about QORDS:

An explosion that rocked Beirut Tuesday has killed 70+ (at least) and injured thousands. The fierce blast — viewed countless times on video because it occurred after an initial fire that attracted attention — packed about as much of a punch as a small nuclear device.

It is thought that the explosion was triggered by some 2,700 tons of ammonium nitrate stored in a warehouse at the harbor, an egregious and fatal error. It had apparently been confiscated up to six years ago.

Promoter Daniel Nardicio and GMHC are launching a GoFundMe for the Fire Island Covid Destroyers — a fund to help Fire Island talent, unemployed due to the pandemic, stay on their heels. Donate here.
