Unison Festival 2023 presents Queer Songbook Orchestra
May 20, 2023 @ 7:00 PM - 9:15 PM
$10 – $25
The QSO uses story and song to express 2SLGBTQ+ experience.
The Queer Songbook Orchestra (QSO) is a Toronto-based 13-piece chamber pop ensemble, dedicated to exploring and uplifting 2SLGBTQ+ narrative in pop music. With the queer lens intact, they look through the last century of popular music and bring forward obscured 2SLGBTQ+ historical narratives, alongside the personal reflections from members of the community. By working with a base of known songs that are uniquely reimagined for the ensemble, they offer the listener new points of entry into familiar works and a broader perspective on the universality of human experience.
A highly collaborative project, the QSO incorporate members of the local community to participate in every performance. From high school students to elders, and from well-known artists to novice performers, individuals are invited on stage to co-present these narratives, and to foster dialogue and nurture deepening community.
Proudly supported by Rosie Porter, Royal LePage Atlantic
