"Sensational, a superb pop ensemble" ~ NOW Magazine
Formed in early 2014, the Queer Songbook Orchestra have since that time produced a series of formidable shows, building a living archive of songs significant to the LGBTQ community while exploring the often obscured queer narratives in popular music. An 11-piece chamber pop ensemble of professional queer and allied musicians, the QSO collaborate with many of the top contemporary composers and arrangers from across Canada to reinterpret the material they are working with. The QSO have recently been featured performers at both Ottawa's Arboretum Festival (2015), and Vancouver's PuSh International Performing Arts Festival (2016).
