Canberra Gay and Lesbian Qwire

The Canberra Gay and Lesbian Qwire consists of approximately 80 members from all walks of life, ranging from late teens right through to the wiser generations; all drawn together by their common love of music and singing.

We are a non-auditioned choir, meaning that people of varying skill levels and experience can come and develop their passion for singing and even learn a few new tips and tricks every week in rehearsal, including not only vocal abilities and strength but stagecraft and even some choreography, which we call Choralography.

Qwire continues to grow in size, diversity and the quality of its performances. The Qwire is now highly regarded within the straight and queer community not only for its vocal strength and performances, but also for its relaxed and social atmosphere. The Qwire brings together people from diverse sections of the ACT queer community and their allies and supporters to challenge stereotypes, and more importantly, build a bridge between the queer community and the non-queer community of Canberra through music.
