Queer Songbook Orchestra are a Canadian chamber pop ensemble, who record and perform orchestral versions of pop songs with meaning to the LGBTQ community.[1] Songs performed by the orchestra do not necessarily have to be explicitly LGBTQ-themed; the group's stated selection criteria permits any song that can be paired with a compelling story about how that song has "touched a queer life in a way".[2]

In concert, each song performed is paired with a recitation of the background story that inspired the group to perform the song. The submitted stories are also collected for posterity by the Canadian Lesbian and Gay Archives.[3]

Membership

Launched by artistic director Shaun Brodie in 2014,[4] the group's core members include vocalists Alanna Stuart and Alex Samaras, poet Stephen Jackman-Torkoff, violinist Jennifer Burford, cellist Evan Lamberton, oboist and English horn player Lief Mosbaugh, French horn player Micajah Sturgess, guitarist Thom Gill, double bassist Dan Fortin, and percussionist Stefan Schneider. A rotating collective of other musicians and storytellers have also collaborated with the group at individual performances, including Carole Pope,[5] Beverly Glenn-Copeland,[5] Leah Fay,[6] Vivek Shraya, Mary Margaret O'Hara, Gwen Benaway,[5] Mark Tewksbury,[5] Veda Hille,[7] Lorraine Segato,[4] Bill Richardson,[7] Gentleman Reg,[5] Gary Beals, Louis Negin, Wayson Choy, Rémy Huberdeau, Simone Schmidt, Torquil Campbell, Daniela Gesundheit, Katie Ritchie, Casey Mecija, Cris Derksen,[5] Rae Spoon and Safia Nolin.

Live performances

The group performed for the first time at Toronto's Videofag in 2014.[8] In 2015 they gave their first live performance outside Toronto, performing at St. Alban's Anglican Church in Ottawa.[9] In recent years they have performed an annual show at Buddies in Bad Times during Pride Toronto,[5] and have performed at various arts festivals throughout Canada. In fall 2018, they are undertaking a 12-city national tour.[10]

Recordings

The group collaborated with Vivek Shraya on her 2017 album Part Time Woman,[11] which was a longlisted nominee for the 2018 Polaris Music Prize.[12] In 2018, they released their own debut album, Anthems & Icons, which includes renditions of songs by k.d. lang, Billy Strayhorn, Rita MacNeil, Joe Meek, Gene MacLellan, Melissa Etheridge and Arthur Russell.[13]
