Homophonic!

Classical music, but gayer!

Homophonic! is back with even more new music by LGBTIQ+ composers! Bringing the disco ball to the concert hall and celebrating the amazing sound world of todays queer artists and storytellers.

Performed by the Homophonic! string quintet and percussion, and the aethereal voices of The Consort of Melbourne, Homophonic! is a joyous and thoughtful exploration of queer lives, activism, the past we've survived and the future we will thrive in.
