About Us
One Voice Chorus (OVC) is an SATB choir for LGBTQ2+ singers and allies. We are an auditioned choir, just completing our 11th season, with a wide-ranging repertoire from classical to jazz, madrigals to show tunes, and more! OVC has a diverse membership of approximately 35 active singing members (grouped by vocal range, not gender).
OVC was founded in September 2011, and our aim is to create a queer-friendly space to sing a wide variety of music, to aim for excellence in our singing, to build bridges with our community, and to have fun! We are a vibrant component of Calgary’s LGBTQ2+ community and our musicality and performance is supported by our commitment to creating a welcoming, inclusive environment for singers, staff, volunteers, and audience members.
In recent years, OVC has made strides to centre artistic efforts on telling stories that have not always been included in the choral community. These include a Bridges concert in collaboration with local Indigenous communities, a performance of The Watershed Stories (including the commission of an additional story about trans experiences), and a retrospective about Club Carousel (Calgary’s first gay club) in collaboration with a local historian.
Our Mission
One Voice Chorus Society provides a supportive environment for LGBTQ2+ singers and allies to sing, learn, perform, and share within an artistic, community-focused organization.
Our Vision
One Voice Chorus makes a meaningful contribution to the greater community through musical excellence and serves as a beacon for the LGBTQ2+ community.
