Queer Community Singing Group (16:00-18:00)
Come and warm up your vocal chords with Queer Community Singing Group. For Queerlands we invite people to a drop-in session. Consider this a chance for a taster before the sessions begin in September.
The Queer Community Singing Group is a fun and diverse evolution of the traditional choir. We will be singing popular songs and in order to make the sessions more accessible, we will not be working from music sheets and will not restrict vocals to gender or voice type.
The session(s) are facilitated by Josh Herring. Josh Herring (he/him) is a songwriter and performer, with a background in composition and community music. He runs several choirs in Copenhagen, having moved here in 2018. He fell in love with choirs in the UK, in Birmingham, where he worked with The Choir With No Name – a choir for people who have experienced homelessness.
Queer Community Singing Group had its first run in spring 2023 and will continue into autumn 2023. All are welcome to join.
Please note all songs are in English.
