The Merced Symphony Association

06/09/2026

On this day, the Merced Symphony would like to take a moment to not just celebrate but thank the Q***r community for their almost 400 years of contributions to the Music world.

From Handel's Messiah to John Cage's avant-garde, the q***r community has pushed the boundaries of what music is and we couldn't be more privileged.

To all of you who may be lost in the music world, we want to let you know that you will be safe behind any doors of any Merced Symphony Performance.

Featured composers on this post: Jean-Baptiste Lully, Billy Strayhorn, Julius Easman, Aaron Copland, Dame Ethyl Smyth, John Cage, and Leonard Bernstein. See their bios in comments!

Are there any composers we missed you would like to feature later this month? Let us know!
