spirits have soared—and our music is back with a joyful new chapter. Our mission is to offer a

shine and be stronger than ever.

Our Story and Evolution
Diverse Harmony was founded in Seattle in 2002 as the nation’s first gay-straight alliance youth chorus. Over the years we saw the choir grow to nearly 60 members and bring performances to communities throughout Seattle in our regular two-concert season. The chorus also performed tours to Denver, Chicago, Montreal, Miami, and Portland in pre-COVID times.
In tandem with our successful performances, Diverse Harmony serves as a safe space for our singers who identify as queer, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, questioning, and allied. Weekly rehearsals have become a home base for many of our youth where they can feel respected and accepted, and have fun making music together.
No tuition or membership fee is required of singers, and we accept all levels of musical ability.
We are excited about the future.
The Mission
*Our vision is a world in which differences are celebrated.
*Our common bond is the love of music and performance arts.
*We believe that everyone should be loved for who they are.
Diverse Harmony is a member of GALA Choruses (the Gay and Lesbian Association of Choruses).
In tandem with our successful performances, Diverse Voices will serve as a safe space for our singers who identify as BIPOC, queer, and allies – and their families and friends. Weekly rehearsals will be a home base for many of our youth and their families where they can feel respected and accepted and have fun making music together.
Since our founding, we have realized that the term gay-straight alliance does not encompass our entire chorus family. As of 2014, we are fully supporting our community by identifying as a queer-straight alliance youth chorus.
Queer is used as an umbrella term that supports gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, asexual, queer, questioning, and other individuals that may not identify with other titles.
No tuition or membership fee is required of singers, and we accept all levels of musical ability. Proof of COVID vaccination and boosters is required.

Diverse Harmony
The Choir
Diverse Harmony choir performs songs from a wide variety of genres — from contemporary pop to classical to Broadway — through which our members create themed shows or even stage musicals that we perform at the end of each season. Whether they came for the music, the friends, the community, or the snacks, choristers often leave their first rehearsal feeling like they have a new musical family to welcome them every Monday night.
