This season is all about sparkle—that unmistakable shimmer queer communities bring to the world, even in the face of challenge. Our concerts celebrate the ways we’ve always sparkled: on disco floors that pulsed with freedom, in cabaret clubs where defiance glittered under the lights, with anthems that fueled marches of protests, and in the brilliant new works of queer composers writing today. We sing to honor our past, to shine through adversity, and to celebrate the radiance of our community. Thank you for being here to sparkle with us—together, we make the music shine brighter.
Freedom In the dark Two Dates! October 24 and 25, 7:30 Community Music Center
An act of joy, protest and belonging, dance is at the heart of queer life —from ballroom to the club floor, movement has been our sanctuary and our revolution. In this concert, our chorus celebrates the dance floors that have held us together in song and in motion.
Love Bites: Emo Prom February 6 and 7, 7:00 PMLocation TBA
A goth-tinged, emo-inspired cabaret, filled with longing, defiance, and love. Dress dark, shine bright, and celebrate the power of music to validate every emotion. Be ready to feel, swoon, and sing along.
Queertopia june 13, 7:30 PM Noe Valley Ministry
Liberation is at the heart of queer music-making — the freedom to sing our truths, to live without apology, and to rise together in harmony. From protest chants to queer anthems, in this concert, our chorus sings songs of queer resilience and trans liberation. Join us for this joyful call for a world where every body is free.
Past Performances
Spring 2025 Concert: WE ARE HERE Fri 6/13 @ 7:30PM Noe Valley Minestry
We’re 45 and Fabulous, and we’re throwing a concert that’s as bold and beautiful as our story. QCSF will perform a stirring blend of past favorites and new works that reflect our journey, our joy, and our steadfast commitment to harmony and justice. WE ARE HERE isn’t just a concert— it's a trip down memory lane (with a stop at the Pink Pony Club) and a celebration of every brave voice that got us here, sung with all the heart and humor you’d expect from a chorus that’s been shaking up tradition for nearly 5 decades.
Friday June 13, 2025 @ 07:30 PM Noe Valley Ministry 1021 Sanchez St San Francisco CA 94114
LOVE BITES: Cabaret Rouge 2/7 and 2/8 @ 7pm 518 ValenCia st
Love Bites! QCSF’s annual Anti-Valentine’s Cabaret offers solo and ensemble numbers that parody, (and sometimes celebrate,) the holiday we love to hate and hate to love.
Friday February 7th and Saturday February 8th at 7:00PM 518 Valencia Street in San Francisco (one block from 16th & Mission!)
Refreshments will be available before and after the show.
The Queer Chorus of San Francisco strives to be accessible to as many people as possible. The venue is wheelchair accessible, and no one will be turned away for lack of funds at the door. However, the venue has limited capacity, and Love Bites historically sells out, so advanced tickets are strongly encouraged.
General admission tickets are $20 online and $25 at the door.
By a vote of the membership, we've renamed our chorus as the Queer Chorus of San Francisco. The new name was selected for being inclusive, being "out," and for celebrating our city.
