At Newport Sings, we’re proud to offer a space for all voices to be heard—and that includes Quorus, our inclusive chorus for LGBTQIA+ voices and allies. Quorus isn’t just a choir—it’s a community. A space where individuals can come together, express themselves freely, and connect through the joy of singing.
Whether you’re a member of the LGBTQIA+ community or an ally, Quorus welcomes you with open arms. Let’s dive into what makes this chorus so special, why it’s important to have inclusive spaces like this, and how Quorus is making a difference in Newport’s arts scene.
A Safe and Welcoming Space for LGBTQIA+ Voices
For many LGBTQIA+ individuals, finding spaces where they can truly express themselves and feel welcome can be a challenge. That’s where Quorus comes in. Quorus was created as a safe, inclusive space where LGBTQIA+ singers and their allies can come together and share their love for music. It’s more than just a choir—it’s a community built on acceptance, respect, and a shared passion for singing.
At Quorus, everyone is encouraged to be their authentic selves. Whether you’ve been singing your whole life or are new to choir, you’ll find a welcoming environment where you can explore your voice, connect with others, and be part of something meaningful.
Music as a Form of Expression and Empowerment
For many in the LGBTQIA+ community, music has long been a way to express their identity, experiences, and emotions. Quorus embraces this by providing an outlet where singers can explore music that resonates with their personal experiences and empowers them to share their stories through song.
Whether it’s through powerful anthems, heartwarming ballads, or fun, upbeat numbers, Quorus allows singers to express themselves in ways that words alone can’t. The music chosen for Quorus performances reflects the diversity of its members, with selections that uplift, empower, and inspire both the singers and the audience.
Building Community Through Shared Experiences
One of the core values of Quorus is community. It’s about coming together with people who understand and support you, while sharing in the collective joy of making music. For many members, Quorus is more than just a choir—it’s a second family. A place where they can build friendships, create lasting memories, and support one another through life’s ups and downs.
Singing in a choir is a deeply communal experience, and Quorus fosters that sense of belonging in every rehearsal and performance. Whether you’re singing alongside fellow LGBTQIA+ members or supportive allies, you’ll feel the power of community in every note.
Why Inclusive Spaces Like Quorus Matter
Having inclusive spaces like Quorus is vital—not just for the individuals who sing, but for the entire community. Quorus gives LGBTQIA+ individuals a platform to be heard, to share their experiences, and to find strength in their identity through music. It also serves as a reminder that the arts are for everyone, and that music has the power to unite us across differences.
By providing an inclusive space for LGBTQIA+ voices, Quorus is helping to build a more welcoming, supportive community in Newport. It’s a space where people can come together, celebrate diversity, and create beautiful music in the process.
