The Portland Lesbian Choir is committed to excellence and enjoyment as a performance group, offering one formal concert per 4-5 month term. Through our music, we support love and tolerance for all people.
We sing a wide variety of styles, from many sources, and sometimes in other languages, with general themes including peace, freedom, social justice, and ecology, and with a special emphasis on music by, for, and about women. We also sing a love song occasionally, and some songs are just for fun!

We perform music that affirms the value of all people regardless of gender, race, age, class, or political affiliation, and respect members’ feelings as they relate to these issues. We are proud to provide a supportive setting where music‑making is a positive experience and where women can develop confidence and concrete skills such as reading music, conducting, accompanying, arranging, etc.

Through our performances and other activities, the choir provides educational, cultural and social enrichment for its members and its audiences and makes a positive contribution to the community.
We seek to make the choir and choir performances accessible to people of color, differently‑abled people, people with children, and people with low incomes.
