Our vision for Oxford Proud Voices

Oxford Proud Voices is your queer community choir in Oxford.

It is open to everyone aged 18 and over: 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 equality, solidarity and joy!

Concerts

• Our winter concert will be on Tuesday 16th December at the Wesley Memorial Church (address below). Watch this space for further details!
• We have previously performed at Oxford DIY Pride, Thame Pride, and our own concert Summer Sunshine: The Queers are Here in June 2025.

  Dates for new singers in the Spring term available soon.

  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.

There is so much to do in setting up the choir and keeping it running. If you can help in any way, please shout.
