- The Queen City Freedom Band is bringing the sweet sound of music all across the Tri-State.
- It's actually a reboot of a concert band called the Queen City Rainbow Band.
- The Freedom Band's Artistic Director tells us
- for many LGBTQ+ people, the arts was one of their first safe spaces to be authentically themselves,
- and when they formed the band, they wanted it to be a safe space for all, allies included.
- Right now, the band is working on a piece for the Pride Band Alliance convention in Columbus next year.
- It will honor marriage equality and the fight for it by Cincinnati's Jim Obergefell and his late husband, John Arthur.
- The Queen City Freedom Band's commitment to the power of music to make change
- is why it is one of the Tri-State's Points of Pride.
