Established in 1991, Sydney Gay & Lesbian Choir is a non-auditioned choir which welcomes members regardless of their sexual identity or musical experience. Participation in the Choir gives people an opportunity to express their sexuality and musicality in a safe and inclusive environment while the Choir's public performances convey a powerful message of respect and understanding of LGBTI people amongst Sydney's wider community.
The SGLC Cultural Fund was established to provide an additional resource for the Choir to undertake special projects which help raise the artistic standard of the Choir, broaden the range of experiences we offer our members and audience, and expand our engagement with the community.
Why are we collecting funds?
SGLC is absolutely thrilled to be hosting the 2023 Out & Loud & Proud (OLP) choral festival from 19-23 February, 2023 as part of Sydney WorldPride. We’re inviting choirs and singers from all over the world to join us and we’re expecting more than 500 singers from over a dozen choirs to come together.
In order to make this festival as accessible as possible we're raising funds to help reduce the costs for participants and your tax deductible donation would be very much appreciated.
