About Gabriel Lochard:
Gabriel Lochard is a vocalist, pianist, music teacher, modern dancer, and Cuban salsa instructor. They facilitate private lessons as well as community workshops, such as their Black Q***r Song Circle at the First Presbyterian Church of Chicago. They see communal music-making and dancing as medicine, using music to imagine a better world and to sustain hope in the midst of global violence and upheaval.
Many of Lochard’s projects focus on the African diasporic experience, drawing from opera, jazz, Black folk, and Afro-Caribbean music traditions. Since earning their bachelor's in music and master's in music history and literature at Harvard University and UC Berkeley, respectively, Lochard has sang, danced, and directed theatre productions across Chicago and the Bay Area. Through collaboration with other musicians, community organizers, and directors, Lochard continues to create spaces that connect the audience and performer, explore the human experience, and draw out the creativity of everyone who attends.
