Thank you to those whose support make our work possible! https://t.co/SJuIM7Ghfl

We might be a little out of practice, and not just vocally! With less than two weeks to go, we have finalized the details for Pride & Joy: A Winter Concert -- The Quire's first concert at our mainstage venue since the pandemic lockdown. Details at: https://t.co/TjKnrCy8gJ

We are sad to announce that the presenters for 'REVOICED: In Concert' have cancelled the event. Thank you to CCPA, REVOICED, and those who bought tickets to see the show -- we hope to have a chance to bring the group to the area another time.

It's that time again -- be part of The Quire's return to the stage as an advertiser or sponsor! Reach a local and dedicated audience, support one of the longest running LGBTQ+ orgs in the area, and be part of the story of our next 25 years of making music! https://t.co/QAWfmTjJA9

So happy to be included in this conversation, especially with the precautions we are taking for our singers and our audience so we can return to the stage! See you at our Winter Concert?

It was a joy to take to the stage last weekend as part of Iowa City Pride! You can see our colorful Member, Elinor, along with many other faces and spaces from Pride in @LittleVillage's recent photo gallery! Photo by Adria Carpenter.

Miss out on our first three open rehearsals? Don't fret, you're set! Open rehearsals are extended for two more weeks -- October 3rd & 10th. Come join our rehearsals as we begin prep for our winter concert! More details at https://t.co/1bRqiSlYDq #lgbtqchoir #lgbtq #queer

We're looking for help to prepare a set of masks for our singers using a specific pattern. This would be a commission, as our values as an organization insist we pay folks for their labor. Interested folks can reach out to Board Chair, Nolan Petersen ([email protected]).

[The Quire (of Eastern Iowa) @TheQuire]

The time is almost here! After a long and uncertain break, The Quire is ready to return to the rehearsal room! Check out https://t.co/tcpMerIeDZ for deets/COVID protocol. And be sure to invite friends and RSVP to the Facebook event https://t.co/zstUHno5u6!

Today is #InternationalDayAgainstHomophobia and #Transphobia and #Biphobia, but language matters. Hate is not a phobia-relevant fear; anti-trans, anti-gay, anti-bi, and anti-queer opinions are chosen hate that inflicts violence on a personal, professional, and societal level.

Word is spreading -- the Virtual Quire Project's feature in @gazettedotcom shares more info about the project, our history, and our hopes to return to the stage soon! Check it out: https://t.co/Vqx1FeMx5O #lgbtq #lgbtqchoir #communitychoir #lgbtqcommunity #queer #queerchoir

[The Quire (of Eastern Iowa) @TheQuire]

We have heard from Members, alumni, and fans that getting to hear our Virtual Quire Project has been a reminder of all the things they miss about The Quire -- and we couldn't agree more. We are hopeful for Fall rehearsals, but keep singing along for now! https://t.co/TvCbqhRTzn

[The Quire (of Eastern Iowa) @TheQuire]

You don't have to sing to be a Member of @TheQuire; we're currently hiring for an Artistic & Choral Director, a Music Librarian, and prospective Board Members! Have other skills or talents you'd like to share? Reach out and let us know! #lgbtqchoir #lgbtq https://t.co/fshNBoXWPG

With the generous support of our $500 #GivingTuesday effort on our FB fundraiser and giving platform (https://t.co/7U2U92gjTA), we raised an incredible $1,020 dollars! We're truly grateful & look forward to sharing the music with you all in the weeks and months (and years) ahead!
