Requiem for a Lost Generation is 44% funded with 43 days to go! Now I need your help getting it in front of new people. Share it anywhere you can. Every share helps tell the story of those we lost in the AIDS crisis. Kickstarter doesn't charge until the campaign is successful. kck.st/4l6piuA

26% funded in 24 hours! Our stories are being erased. This project exists to make sure one generation's isn't. Research shows projects that hit 30% in the first 48 hours are dramatically more likely to succeed. We are 4% away. tinyurl.com/2fp3m9ty

A prayer for peace. A cry for justice. The Agnus Dei from Requiem for a Lost Generation asks for comfort for those we lost, & accountability from a world that turned away when compassion was needed most. Follow the Kickstarter prelaunch page to help bring this to life. youtu.be/1WSasvENW6A

In this Sanctus, the Osanna becomes an act of resistance. Driven by the spirit of ACT UP, it celebrates collective power while acknowledging how fragile and compromised hope often was. Learn more about Requiem for a Lost Generation (link in comments) youtu.be/WAETd7M-QnE

The requiem is more than an idea now. I’ve had a first sing-through with volunteer singers (it was exhilarating and terrifying), I’m deep in revisions and listening to what worked, what didn’t, and what the music is asking for next. This part of the process feels exciting, humbling, and important.
