We've joined Legato, the European Association of LGBTQ+ Choirs, to become more closely networked with the larger international q***r choral family 🏳️‍🌈

We welcome our new choir: Kor Hen from Trondheim, Norway.
Please follow them and help them grow.
Kor Hen is Trondheim’s q***r choir. Since our founding in 2017, we have grown to a membership of around 40 singers of different genders, ages, and nationalities.

Our choir is open to everybody, regardless of gender, sexuality, singing ability, and previous choral experience, and our repertoire is mainly popular music.

We work actively for the q***r community in Trondheim by creating a safer space for like-minded people, and also nurturing ties with wider national and international q***r choral communities.

We are regular performers on the main stage at Trondheim Pride and have been invited to perform by several other local institutions, such as Trondheim Kunstmuseum.

Each year we invite a q***r choral group to perform in our summer concert, and visiting groups have included Barberfellas (London), Friends of Dorothy (Helsinki), Sapfonia (Bergen), and Homonics (Dublin). Our growing profile has led to an international trip to Germany to hold workshops at the University of Siegen and collaborate with the q***r choir Die Taktlosen (Cologne).

Kor Hen is an activity group under the auspices of FRI Trøndelag, the regional department of the main national q***r lobbying organisation, FRI - Foreningen for kjønns- og seksualitetsmangfold. Our choral director is conductor, pianist, pedagogue, and musicologist, Snorre Sletten.
