An evening of story and song based around the personal narratives of queer elders.
Toronto's acclaimed Queer Songbook Orchestra is collaborating with four elders from our community who will be sharing stories of their personal queer experience over the years, paired with the songs that have defined them. Emphasizing LGBTQ lineage, this performance makes space for the voices of those who were witness to the evolution of our community.
Featuring:
Wayson Choy
leZlie lee kam
Louis Negin
& the memory of Aiyyana Maracle
Formed in early 2014, the Queer Songbook Orchestra have since that time produced a series of formidable shows, building a living archive of songs significant to the LGBTQ community while exploring the often obscured queer narratives in popular music. An 11-piece chamber pop ensemble of professional queer and allied musicians, the QSO collaborate with many of the top contemporary composers and arrangers from across Canada to reinterpret the material they are working with. The QSO have recently been featured performers at Ottawa's Arboretum Festival 2015, and Vancouver's PuSh International Performing Arts Festival 2016.
