ROSAKEHLCHEN E.V. MANNHEIM GERMANY Type: TTBB Founded: 1992 # Wonderful Supporting members 0 # Wonderful members 16 ABOUT Die RosaKehlchen sind eine Unterart der Familie der Chorsänger, bei der sich nur die männlichen Exemplare mit gleichgeschlechtlichem Paarungstrieb zum gemeinsamen Singen zusammentun. Ihr Verbreitungsgebiet ist der Raum Mannheim-Heidelberg. Wegen ihrer allgemeinen Distanzlosigkeit sind die beschwingten Sangeskünstler allgemeine Sympathieträger. Die Art gilt nach wie vor als gefährdet. ​ Ihr Gesang ist mit unzähligen sich fortlaufend ändernden Motiven äußerst variabel. An warmen Montagen ist ihr zartes, bisweilen auch druckvolles, aber immer lebhaftes Singen kurz vor Sonnenuntergang im nördlichen Mannheim zu hören. Nächtliches Singen urbaner RosaKehlchen auf Plätzen, die während des Tages laut sind, legt nahe, dass sie zu dieser stilleren Zeit singen, damit ihre Botschaft von der Umgebung klarer aufgenommen werden kann. ​ Und jetzt mal im Ernst: ​ Schwuler Chor in Heidelberg-Mannheim seit 1992 ​ Die RosaKehlchen sind eine Gruppe von etwa 20 schwulen Männern aller Altersstufen, die Spaß am gemeinsamen Singen haben. Wir wagen uns ins Spannungsfeld zwischen musikalischem Anspruch und witziger Unterhaltung, und versäumen zwischen politischem und gesellschaftlichem Engagement nicht, uns selbst und die schöne schwule Welt selbstironisch auf die Schippe zu nehmen. ​ Unser Repertoire reicht vom Barock über die Comedian Harmonists bis hin zu modernen Pop-Bearbeitungen, vorgetragen zum Klavier oder a cappella. Altbekanntes nimmt durch unsere in der Regel selbst geschriebenen Texte manchmal eine unerwartete Wendung. Auch szenisch-choreographisch kann man von uns etwas anderes als von einem eher traditionsorientierten Männergesangsverein erwarten. Kurzum: Die RosaKehlchen sind nicht nur hörens- sondern auch sehenswert! ​ Sie möchten etwas über unser aktuelles Programm oder die nächsten Auftritte erfahren? Oder Sie sind einfach neugierig auf die RosaKehlchen als Teil der schwulen Kultur in unserer Metropolregion? Bitteschön: Hier finden Sie alles über unser Programm, die Musik, Pressestimmen, unsere Geschichte, Bilder, Plakate und vieles mehr. mostly rock/pop/musicals, some classical WEBSITE INSTAGRAM TWITTER FACEBOOK 1997 Manage your Choir information ​ Now you can change, add or remove the information about your choir Want to change your profile picture? ​Change the description of your choir?

RICCHITONI BARI ITALY Type: SATB Members: 11 Founded: 2018 ABOUT Il primo coro LGBT* Pugliese, ed è aperto a tutte e tutti. We are Puglia’s first LGBT* choir open to all. RicchiToni was formed on 25 March 2018 with support from Cromatica LGBT. In November 2018 RicchiToni began a collaboration with MiXED lgbti for their 2018 Christmas season. That collaboration ended prior to the launch of the 2019 "revolution / evolution" season. RicchiToni siamo nati il 25 marzo 2018 con il supporto di Cromatica LGBT. Perché RicchiToni? Prendere una parola che è stata LA CROCE nell'esperienza di molti e molte di NOI, stravolgerla, significa anche testimoniare noi stessi, riappropriarci di quella storia che ci siamo visti negare, e dire al mondo che non esistono offese che possano piegarci, perché noi siamo più forti di ogni offesa, anzi noi l'offesa la prendiamo e ne facciamo un marchio tangibile, la trasformiamo in qualcosa di bello. Ti tolgo un'arma e ti restituisco un fiore. Why RicchiToni? Our name is a play on the Italian word “ricchioni”, a derogatory term used to describe gay people. By adding the “T”, the word becomes ricchi(T)oni, literally “rich tones”, the sound that we aspire to when singing, allowing us to reclaim the insult, turning it into something beautiful and aspirational!

SONGBIRDS CHOIR CARDIFF UNITED KINGDOM Founded: 2012 Type: SSAA # Wonderful Supporting members 0 # Wonderful members 27 ABOUT Hello! We are Cardiff’s Songbirds, a non-auditioning community choir for LGBTQ+ women, trans, and non-binary people. Since we were founded in 2012 we have proudly fostered a culture of inclusivity, creating a supportive and welcoming space where members can find friendship, joy, and create a harmonious sound. We rehearse once a week in Cardiff and perform all over the local area when we can, often for local charities, representing the LGBTQ+ community and, importantly, enjoying ourselves in the process. The ethos of the choir is acceptance and fun; we are a community and a family, and we place more importance on inclusivity than being note-perfect (although, thanks to our Musical Director Lizzie, we do make a beautiful sound)! We put on our own concerts once or twice a year and often perform at Pride events across South Wales. We’ve sung at events held by Stonewall, Cardiff University and Ty Hafan, as well as weddings, carol services, and joint events with our friends South Wales Gay Men’s Chorus and Cardiff Trans Singers. The three groups co-hosted the Hand in Hand Festival in Cardiff in August 2019. We are always delighted to welcome new members to our choir. equally mixed classic/rock/pop/musicals WEBSITE INSTAGRAM TWITTER FACEBOOK 2024 Manage your Choir information ​ Now you can change, add or remove the information about your choir Want to change your profile picture? ​Change the description of your choir?
