QWIRE YOUTH PROJECT

The Canberra Qwire is a non-auditioned choir, welcoming all members of our community, in a safe, social environment, and works together to performing music for our community, Canberra and the ACT, Australia and internationally.

They have requested that A Gender Agenda advertise their fabulous youth project, and we are more than happy to oblige! Qwire have made a fantastic effort to create an environment where they hope that trans, intersex and genderqueer youth will feel comfortable participating. I strongly recommend that if you have any interest in music, you consider getting involved.

They are seeking interested participants who would like to take on roles in singing, production, development, design, music and lyrics writing and arranging, and anything you else can think of, to develop and produce a public performance and commercial recording of an “event”.

Any way, here’s the info:
Participants aged 16-25, who identify as Lesbian or Gay, Trans or Intersex, bisexual or any other colour of our rainbow are who we are looking for!

Not only will participants produce their own performance, but they will be supported, coached, and joined by members from the Qwire, as well as music and production professionals from around Canberra, ACT and nationally.

Participants will also be encouraged and welcomed to join with the Qwire for a number of other events including:

  • Out and Loud, Australasian Gay and Lesbian Choral Festival, to be held in Auckland, New Zealand. Easter 2010 (long weekend of the 4th April, 2010). Information on the festival is at www.outandloud.org if you want to find out more about it!
  • AIDS Candlelight Vigil, in conjunction with the Aids Action Council (usually held late May) 2010.
  • Mid Year performance – to be themed, designed and produced by the participants of *this* project!
  • How do I participate?
    We will be holding a public meeting at 6pm on Tuesday 24th, for interested participants to come and hear more about the project, to meet and talk with Qwire members, and sit in on a Qwire rehearsal, just following our “Light and Fluffy” concert Late November.

    Venue will be ANU Music Department, Llewellyn Hall, Level 5, Lecture Theatre 2. Please let us know if you wish someone to meet you there.
    At this meeting, we will clarify questions about the project and seek your expression of interest, to commence working on the project, writing your own music and words, designing, developing and all the things that go with it, in the near year.
    Those registering their interest prior to the meeting will also be invited to attend the “Light and Fluffy”, concert free of charge – with our guests, Can Belto (one of Canberra’s favourite choirs – other than us!),

    Please contact the project Chef de Partie, Tim Little (Qwire Assistant Musical Director), on 0422210768 or cooltim@westnet.com.au to confirm your attendance, to register your interest and receive details of the “Light and Fluffy” concert.

    You can also contact us on canberraqwire@yahoo.com.au for more information about the Qwire, and our regular season – you are welcome to join us
