Queer Joy Chorus
Born out of The Pride Chorus at Northampton Community Music Center (NCMC), the QJC hopes to expand our reach in the coming years while maintaining our core values: Music is a great source of joy and community for many. Everyone is welcome in the Queer Joy Chorus regardless of experience or ability to pay, and without audition. All you need is a love of singing and a willingness to be part of an accepting LGBTQIA+ community. For the 2024-2025 academic year, the QJC will register folks through the Pride Chorus at NCMC.
Rhythm and Radiance Kids Chorus
Within the next week we will be launching the Joyful Kids Chorus! Like the Queer Joy Chorus, this will be a space for building community, finding joy in singing, and accepting all people. We’ll chose our music together, centering music that kids love to sing. We’ll learn about music-making together as well in a supportive, fun environment.
Mystery Writing Workshop
For aspiring authors, this is a not-to-be-missed opportunity! Best-selling author Margot Douaihy will spend a day helping you hone your craft in an intimate small-group setting!
