Founded in 2008 in Beijing, the Beijing Queer Chorus (北京酷儿合唱团; BQC) is now, with around 60 regular performing members, the first public performing LGBTQ chorus in mainland China. BQC is a member of the GALA Choruses.[3][4]

The Chorus was formerly known as Shining Jazzy Chorus.

Introduction

[edit]

Beijing Queer Chorus is a semiprofessional mixed choir. It is the first publicly performing LGBTQ choir in mainland China, and is one of the first two Asian choirs attending international LGBTQ choral festivals. BQC currently[when?] has over 100 members registered.

To practice the idea "Sing for a Better World", BQC regularly conducts various public music events and actively participates in music communications domestically and internationally. After attending LGBTQ Chorus festivals around the world several times, the group jointly hosted the first Queer Chorus Festival in Mainland China along with six other LGBTQ choirs. Through chorus shows and cultural communication in Tianjin, Hong Kong, Taipei, Tokyo, London, Seattle, Portland, and others, chorus members hope to break down barriers among individuals and groups.

BQC has collaborated with partners including the British, Dutch, and German embassies in Beijing, TEDx, VICE China, and the Broadway Musical RENT. It also promotes AIDS prevention activities and attends environmental protection events.

History

[edit]

The chorus was founded in October 2008 as the Shining Jazzy Chorus.[5] Currently, they perform two concerts each year.[6][7][8][9] In June 2013, they performed with Seattle Men's Chorus assistant director, Eric Lane Barnes.[10] The following month of that year, they met with Gary Locke.[11] In April 2014, they changed their name to the Beijing Queer Chorus.[5][12] In the same year, two BQC singers attended Various Voices Dublin 2014. In July 2016, 14 BQC singers attended the GALA choruses festival in Denver, U.S.[13][14] In December 2016, they celebrates 8th anniversary.[citation needed] In March 2018, they toured Northwestern U.S.[15][16][17]
