Gay Abandon is West Yorkshire\u2019s LGBT+ choir based in Leeds<\/strong>. We are a community choir and come from a wide range of musical backgrounds and levels of experience. We sing all kinds of music including pop, folk and show tunes. The choir provides a friendly, safe space for LGBT+ singers from all walks of life to have fun in a friendly atmosphere, with the joy of singing being what holds us together in common.<\/p>\n

Gay Abandon was set up by Jane Edwardson in 1997, who we are very proud to have had as our musical leader for the 25 years of the choir\u2019s existence. We have a regular membership of between 50 – 60 singers, and perform a sell out annual concert at the Leeds College of Music (now Leeds Conservatoire). We are very excited to be celebrating our 25 year anniversary in 2023 with a special sparkling silver concert and the trip to Various Voices. The theme of our performances in 2023 will be \u201cGay Abandon\u2019s Greatest Hits\u201d with choir performing favourite songs which we have loved singing over the last 25 years. Many of these pieces have been skilfully arranged for Gay Abandon by Jane Edwardson.<\/p>\n

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: 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":[27],"tags":[41],"yoast_head":"\nGay Abandon - Various Voices 2023<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Gay Abandon - Various Voices 2023\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Gay Abandon is West Yorkshire\u2019s LGBT+ choir based in Leeds.
