Hines rehearsing for the Trans Day of Remembrance performance

In my last Queer Bait column I featured trans organist T. Desiree Hines, who was scheduled to perform the opening segment at the 2010 OutMusic Awards in New York City. Since it was published, however, the show's creators have announced that the show (originally scheduled for Dec. 1) will be postponed, due to a major sponsor pulling out at the last minute. Now slated for spring, Hines believes the setback could actually be seen as a blessing in disguise. Since the announcement, she says the community has taken greater notice of the event, which could lead to even more funding. "This will give [the organizers] more means to produce a bigger and better event in the spring," she says. Until then, Hines is keeping busy with a regular performance schedule. She recently performed with trans violinist Tona Brown (also a scheduled OutMusic performer) at a Trans Day of Remembrance concert in Baltimore.

This event will never see the light of day due to mismanagement of funds, the donor reneging "story" is a big fat lie.
