The Sydney Gay & Lesbian Choir (SGLC) is absolutely thrilled to be hosting the 2023 Out & Loud & Proud (OLP) choral festival in the beautiful city of Sydney from 19-23 February, 2023. 

And even more thrillingly, Out & Loud & Proud will be held as part of Sydney WorldPride, which is coming alive in the Southern Hemisphere for the first time ever! SGLC could not be prouder to be part of this history. 

Out & Loud has been celebrating LGBTIQA+ pride through song since 2001. Every three years choirs from all around Australia and our 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, we’re inviting choirs and singers from all over the world to join us

By being part of WorldPride in 2023, Out & Loud & Proud will be a unique opportunity for us to showcase our talents and passion for singing to a truly global audience – and we invite you to join us along the journey.

There are three ways to be part of the fun:

1. Register as a Singer or Non-Singing particpant 

2. Volunteer to help out during the festival and/or offer a room to accommodate any visting participants

3. Make a tax deductible donation to support the Out & Loud & Proud Choral Festival

We can't wait to see you in Sydney!
