The chorus is open to people of all genders and sexual orientations who are looking for a choral community. We are not a choir of professional music singers, but one that strives for excellence in our performance and musical communication. We endeavour to create a friendly and empowering fellowship for our community through the power and journey of song.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The JQC was formed in March 2020&#8230; Yes, *that* month of *that* year. We held our first-ever rehearsal on the 10th of March, and barely five days later, <strong>South Africa<\/strong> went into its own lockdown. Eight months later, we managed to get back together again, and since that time, we have grown to just over 60 members.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jqc.org.za\">Visit website<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_social_media_follow _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;RGBA(255,255,255,0)&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_social_media_follow][et_pb_slider show_pagination=&#8221;off&#8221; use_bg_overlay=&#8221;off&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Slider Bos&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;RGBA(255,255,255,0)&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; content_width=&#8221;90%&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px|0px|0px|0px|true|true&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|0px|0px|0px|true|true&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][et_pb_slide _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_transition=&#8221;on&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-54671 alignnone size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/various-voices.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/FB_IMG_1684694316027-1024x855.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"855\" srcset=\"https:\/\/various-voices.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/FB_IMG_1684694316027-1024x855.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/various-voices.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/FB_IMG_1684694316027-980x818.jpg 980w, https:\/\/various-voices.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/FB_IMG_1684694316027-480x401.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_slide][et_pb_slide _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_transition=&#8221;on&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-54669 alignnone size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/various-voices.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/FB_IMG_1684694167988-1024x793.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"793\" srcset=\"https:\/\/various-voices.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/FB_IMG_1684694167988-1024x793.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/various-voices.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/FB_IMG_1684694167988-980x759.jpg 980w, https:\/\/various-voices.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/FB_IMG_1684694167988-480x372.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_slide][et_pb_slide _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_transition=&#8221;on&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-54673 alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/various-voices.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/FB_IMG_1684694329221.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"766\" height=\"766\" srcset=\"https:\/\/various-voices.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/FB_IMG_1684694329221.jpg 766w, https:\/\/various-voices.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/FB_IMG_1684694329221-480x480.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 766px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_slide][\/et_pb_slider][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"JQC Starry Skies Snapshot\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_wmq4DqTczQ?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Johannesburg Queer Chorus is an amateur choir for greater Johannesburg\u2019s LGBTQIA+ community and their friends.

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":[27],"tags":[72],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Johannesburg Queer Chorus - 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=\"Johannesburg Queer Chorus - Various Voices 2023\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Johannesburg Queer Chorus is an amateur choir for greater Johannesburg\u2019s LGBTQIA+ community and their friends.
