Out Aloud LGBT+ Choir Sheffield
Out Aloud is the LGBT+ community choir from steel city Sheffield in the UK. We make music which represents our community to the world beyond our own and provides a safe space to be who we are. We sing together to promote well-being, confidence and belonging. Our voices matter.
Starting small in 2006, we now have a membership of over 70 people.We contribute to the life of our city, and we fly the rainbow flag for Sheffield at festivals and events across the UK and Europe from Aberystwyth to Whitby, from Dublin to Mönchengladbach. We have sung as the guests of Podium Paris at Gay Pride in Paris, and with the Pink Singers and Rainbow Voices Mumbai at the Cadogan Hall in London. We sing at local prides. Out Aloud is now an established part of Sheffield’s LGBT+ community and wider cultural life; from our annual December performance at the Winter Gardens, to IDAHOBIT and the city’s Holocaust memorial event.
2026 is Out Aloud’s 20th Anniversary, so coming to Brussels to sing at Various Voices is important to us as part of our birth year celebrations. At other Various Voices we have enjoyed meeting LGBTQ choirs from across the world, been amazed and entertained by the huge cross section of LGBTQ choir performances and experienced the joy of just being part of a community where diversity and being ourselves is celebrated and honoured. P.s. We’re also looking forward to the beer and moules frites!
