Sydney Gay & Lesbian Choir

For over thirty years, the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Choir (SGLC) has served as a vibrant, harmonious soundtrack to Sydney’s LGBTQIA+ community.

The choir was born out of a call to action in November 1990, when a letter published in the Sydney Star Observer invited local community members to come together and sing. By 1991, SGLC held its debut performance—sparking a musical legacy built on inclusion, joy, and artistic excellence.

Operating as an un-auditioned choir, SGLC welcomes singers across the entire spectrum of sexualities, gender identities, and musical backgrounds, as well as straight allies. United by a shared passion for song, their dynamic repertoire spans classical masterpieces, pop hits, musical theatre, and contemporary Australian works.

From marching and performing at local community events and pride celebrations to taking the stage at major national and international festivals, the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Choir remains a powerful, visible symbol of diversity, harmony, and radical welcome.
