The Queer Songbook Orchestra (QSO) is a Toronto based 12-piece chamber ensemble, compiling and re-interpreting songs that have shaped the LGBTQ community.

These concerts, the first in an ongoing series, will focus thematically on songs that are connected to the closet. Exploring and sharing those songs that individuals held close during their time spent in the closet, as well as acknowledging songwriters who lived in a time when they couldn’t openly express their sexualities.
Each song has been arranged specifically for The Queer Songbook Orchestra by some of Canada’s top arrangers.

All proceeds will be donated to The Rainbow Railroad.
