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
Save the dates: we’re planning concerts on Tuesday 7th July and Tuesday 8th December. Watch this space and follow our social media below for more details!
We have previously performed at Oxford DIY Pride, Thame Pride, and our own concerts Summer Sunshine and Sparkle Season.
