The Butterfly Music Transgender Chorus was a Boston-based non-audition chorus that supported the transgender community through music, outreach, and research.[1][2] Founded in 2014 by Sandi Hammond, faculty member at the New School of Music in Cambridge, Massachusetts[citation needed]. It is thought to have been the second transgender choir in the nation, the first being the Transcendence Gospel Choir of San Francisco.[3][4] The chorus held its first public performance on April 9, 2015, at the First Church in Boston.[5]

During the following two years, the chorus received a large amount of local and nation media attention, garnering stories in O, The Oprah Magazine, Local and National NPR stations, ABC News and others.[5][6]

The Butterfly Music Transgender Chorus does not exist anymore. After two sold-out debut concerts in downtown Boston, Hammond stepped down in October 2016[7].Шаблон:Citation needed during an intense debate about the impact of media exposure on the group and also the fact that she herself is not trans. A small group of volunteers continued a self-led, volunteer song-circle for several months under the new name, Boston Trans Chorus.[8]

The Butterfly Music Transgender Chorus has sparked the creation of similar groups in Chicago, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Kansas City, and Manchester, New Hampshire.[9]
