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.

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.
