Queer Youth Choir Performance

qyc.613 is a creative music-making group in Ottawa’s queer community. Open to all youth ages 14-18 who identify as 2SLGBTQIA+, queer spawn, and/or allies, this group builds music skills in a choral-education environment where youth have agency over their learning and musicianship. The choir rehearsals incorporate games and breakout sessions to explore things like theory, movement, music appreciation, composition and arranging, etc. based on participants’ interests and backgrounds.
