The Queer Chorus is a warm and welcoming community committed to cultivating a diverse membership of talented singers from a wide range of musical experiences. We perform many styles of music in concert seasons that usually consist of two concerts, one cabaret, and outreach performances around the Bay Area and beyond. We take our performances seriously, and foster a fun, cozy atmosphere that is home to activism, community, and family. We rehearse Thursday evenings from mid-August to June at St Francis Lutheran Church, near Church and Market St, San Francisco.

FAQs
When do we rehearse?

Where is rehearsal held?
Our rehearsals take place at St Francis Lutheran Church, on Church St (close to Market St). St Francis is an inclusive and affirming congregation.
Do I need to bring anything to my first visit?
A willing attitude, a sense of fun, and your voice! A pencil is also recommended.
Does it cost anything to join?
We are a member supported organization. To keep the Chorus running, members pay $180 in dues per concert semester (Spring/Fall), which includes a $30 music fee. If you have difficulty meeting these costs, scholarships and work trade arrangements are available.
In addition to dues, all members are expected to contribute service to the organization. Current opportunities including serving at a beverage booth or setting up and breaking down for a concert.
But what if I don’t identify as lesbian, gay, or queer?
