One Day. One Chorus. One Big Sound.
One Great Cause.

Key of Q, the Hudson Valley’s own LGBTQ+ & allied a cappella chorus, is excited about our biannual One Day Chorus! This community event is for singers who love to sing and want to be a part of the gang for just one afternoon! Participants will experience the joy of choral singing – no audition and no weekly commitment required. You don’t have to be able to read music to participate.

Attendees will join the members of Key of Q to learn a single song together in full four-part a cappella harmony, culminating in a joyful, collective sing-out. The emphasis is on community, connection, and the simple thrill of making music together.

There’s no pressure to get it perfect, just great harmonies, great vibes, and a room full of people who love singing. The afternoon is paired with cocktails or mocktails, plenty of laughter, and a celebratory atmosphere that reflects Key of Q’s inclusive and welcoming spirit.

Over the course of the afternoon, we’ll:

• Break the ice with some warm ups and breathing exercises
• Start learning the song in sections
• Build in mid-afternoon breaks- while some voice parts work on their specific parts of the song, the other voice parts grab some refreshments and quality time with their fellow singers.
• Regroup and put all the pieces together
• Run the full song and experience the joy of making music together

Proceeds from the One Day Chorus will benefit a queer positive organization in the Hudson Valley.

Whether you’re a seasoned singer or someone who just loves to sing, the One Day Chorus offers a unique chance to raise your voice in harmony, meet new people, support a good cause and be part of something special – all in one afternoon. our next One Day Chorus is planned for October, 2026. Please join us!
