Tone Cluster
a queer choral organization
Tone Cluster is a vibrant and inclusive choral organization for 2SLGBTQIA+people, and is prominent in Ottawa’s queer and arts communities. The organization’s flagship ensemble, Tone Cluster – quite a queer choir, is a 50-member auditioned mixed-voice choir and performs three concerts per year.
Queer Cadence, the organization’s newest initiative, is a non-auditioned mixed-voice choir with a focus on intersectional connection with the Ottawa community. Both choirs frequently collaborate with multidisciplinary artists, especially from the queer community.
Tone Cluster’s mandate is to create a queer-positive environment where singers can be themselves and work towards choral excellence, all while supporting those of varied sexual orientation, gender identity, and relationship orientation, as well as highlighting intersections between the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and other equity-seeking groups.
Tone Cluster and Queer Cadence are more than just musical ensembles — they are a vibrant and affirming community that fosters connection, visibility, and empowerment for 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals in Ottawa.
