We are a TTBB (First Tenors, Second Tenors, Baritones, Basses) formation choir composed of about 25 singers and a pianist. Our repertoire ranges from Renaissance madrigals to pop music.\r\n\r\nWe are all male voices, but we are not all males. We are all very young at heart, but the age range of our choir members covers three generations. We are a microcosm of experiences and sensitivities, from which music, love, and lots of hilarious gags blossom.\r\n\r\nFor Komos it is a great privilege to host Various Voices 2023 in Bologna, our city of music and freedom, which has meant so much for Italian culture and the history of the movement in our country. This will be an opportunity to bring this history to the world, and to be enriched by the great experiences that the participating choirs will bring with them.\r\n\r\n--> Facebook: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Komos.corolgbt\/\">Komos - Coro LGBT di Bologna<\/a>\r\n\r\n--> Instagram: @komos.corolgbt\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n\r\n\u00a0","_et_gb_content_width":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[55],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Friends of Dorothy - Various Voices 2023<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"it_IT\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The Friends of Dorothy - Various Voices 2023\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Friends of Dorothy is a queer a cappella group based in Helsinki, Finland, and consists of five singers.
