Bridging Voices is a youth chorus for LGBTQ+ and allied singers ages 13-21.

We strive to be a safe, accessible place for youth to experience empowerment and unity through music. Bridging Voices is Portland’s first LGBTQ+ and Allied Youth Chorus and is one of the largest choruses of its kind in the nation.

Want to come sing with us? We welcome singers of all experience levels!

Our next term will begin in September 2026.
