Out & Loud has been celebrating LGBTQIA+ pride through song since 2001. Every three years choirs from all around Australia and their Indo-Pacific neighbours come together to share the joy of singing through workshops, performances and a massed choral event finale.
Now, to celebrate Sydney WorldPride in 2023, Sydney Gay and Lesbian Choir and Sydney WorldPride invite choirs and singers from all over the world to join them. Out & Loud & Proud welcomes LGBTQIA+ choirs and individuals to a five day celebration of community and singing. Enjoy a packed program of activities including:

- A program of workshops by some of Australia’s leading musical educators
- Pop-up performances in iconic Sydney locations
- Concert opportunities for participating choirs

The Individual Voices Choir led by Dr Kathleen McGuire rehearse together to present a program of songs at the Pop-up performances and the Gala.
