WA Museum's monthly LGBTQIA+ focused choir.

QUoir is a Community Choir for everyone and anyone who feels the need to shake off the stress of every day in communal song. 

Presented by WA Museum Boola Bardip and led by the iconic duo Queency and Tara John of the WA Bad Ass Gospel Choir, this is a safe space for community, allies, families/inter-generational groups, and anyone who needs to flex their pipes!

QUoir is a little different to your regular. The soundtrack is comprised entirely of songs by queer artists and songs that have resonated with queer audiences throughout the decades. Think Madonna, Sam Smith, Robyn, Elton John, Tina Turner, Cher, Kylie Minogue - the list goes on!

Every second Wednesday of the month, the QUoir will come together at WA Museum Boola Bardip to rehearse and perform a different song.

Before you attend, read the frequently asked questions below and for any other queries, please reach out to reception@museum.wa.gov.au.
