Our vision for Oxford Proud Voices

Oxford Proud Voices is your queer community choir in Oxford.

It is open to everyone: whether you have been singing for years or are new to singing, whether you read music or not; how ever you choose to identify your gender, sexuality or self.

All we ask is that you respect this as a queer, safe space and support our values, including inclusion, respect, and active promotion of human and queer rights.

Come sing for joy, equality and solidarity!

If you want to know more, please contact us (see below) or come and sit in on one of our rehearsals on a Tuesday evening.

Come to our next rehearsals

• Tuesday 5th November - VENUE CHANGE
  Remember, remember, the fifth of November, we will be at the Faculty of Music, on St Aldates (OX1 1DB) - the Sat Nav directions are unreliable but it’s opposite the little Tesco’s. If you’re driving in, your best bet for parking is probably at Westgate Shopping Centre. Please arrive at 6:45 for a 7:00 start, and remember to bring £10 / £5 / what you can afford in cash for subs.

• Tuesday 12th November
  We will be back at our usual venue, the Friends Meeting House, 43 St Giles, OX1 3LW. This is the Quaker building on St Giles in central Oxford. The hall is a beautiful space, surrounded by gardens. It has step-free access, is wheelchair accessible and has gender-neutral and accessible toilets. We may occasionally need to use other accessible venues in central Oxford.

• Musical Director: We are thrilled to have Philip Read as our first musical director; you can read more about him at philipread.net.

• Subscriptions per rehearsal: £10 standard, £5 low income / unwaged / students / others
  If you can’t afford to pay anything, or if you feel you can pay more to help others, please let us know — we don’t want money to be barrier to creating a wonderful queer singing community.

• How to join: just show up. New singers are welcome at any rehearsal.
