“When I Am Free”, a benefit concert in support of Rainbow Railroad is back for the 5th time this fall! We’re excited to invite members of our community in Chicago and surrounding area to attend.
This annual event will be held at the historic Jazz Showcase on the evening of Wednesday, October 23, featuring a headline performance by one of Chicago’s most remarkable talents, the inimitable jazz artist Dee Alexander.
The “When I Am Free” benefit concert will kick off the annual “When I Am Free” fundraising campaign in the Chicago area. The campaign will raise fund to help LGBTQI+ people fleeing anti-LGBTQI+ persecution find safe pathways to freedom. The evening will also feature remarks from Rainbow Railroad’s leadership and community. The concert is also an opportunity to show our appreciation for our community in Chicago. We hope you will join us on October 23 for an evening of exceptional artistry for an exceptional cause.
You can learn more about the event, or purchase tickets, here. A limited number of VIP tickets are available for purchase.
