The San Diego Women’s Chorus (SDWC) is a lesbian-identified, feminist sisterhood of musicians that welcomes members from the vastly diverse LGBTQIA+ and straight-ally communities. We are a non-profit community chorus that strives to entertain and inspire audiences with music that speaks to issues such as human rights, inclusion, cultural diversity, love, world peace, religious freedom and environmental harmony. Our organization started in 1987 with a handful of lesbian-identified women singing around a piano in our founder’s living room. We have grown considerably over the years, and now have 140 active singers who share and support our mission.
In addition to our concerts and cabarets, SDWC supports other local organizations by providing meaningful music and song at their events. Our partners include San Diego Pride, the San Diego LGBTQ Center, and GALA Choruses. We also perform at Light Up the Cathedral, an interfaith event that kicks off San Diego’s Pride Weekend, as well as the Pride annual event at University of California, San Diego.
