Description:

This season, One Voice Chorus invites you to a celebration full of sparkle, spirit, and unapologetic queer cheer. The first half of Pride & Joy brings the camp—expect holiday classics with a twist, unexpected treats, and more glitter than your grandma’s tinsel. Then, as the lights soften, we shift into music that holds space for reflection, remembrance, and the deeper meaning of the season. From playful to poignant, this concert honors the wide spectrum of what the holidays mean to our community—joy, resilience, chosen family, and love in all its forms. Join us as we sing in the season and celebrate you—our extended OVC family.

Free parking available. Please join us afterwards for a FREE reception featuring a holiday sing-a-long, complimentary beer/wine, and soft drinks, and holiday cookies galore!
