The Johannesburg Queer Chorus presents Spectrum

Spectrum is the Johannesburg Queer Chorus’ major seasonal showcase, presenting a captivating musical exploration of identity, expression and the beauty found in life’s vibrant in-betweens.

In a world that often leans heavily toward rigid absolutes, Spectrum invites audiences to step into the fluid,
colourful spaces where true life happens. Through a carefully curated repertoire, the chorus explores the
intersections of light, colour, gender, sexuality, sound and memory.

Rather than shrinking back from the discomfort of uncertainty, Spectrum challenges performers and listeners
alike to embrace the idea that everything can be anything, inspiring everyone to step forward as the most
expansive and brightest versions of themselves.

This is a showcase of exceptional choral arrangement and heartfelt storytelling.

Cost: From R200pp, book via Quicket

When: Sunday, 6 December 2026. Early afternoon show at 2pm (doors open at 1.30pm); late afternoon show at 4.30pm (doors open at 4pm)
Where: The Cirk, Shop L205a, Cresta Shopping Centre Corner Beyers Naude Drive, Extension 4 and Weltevreden Rd, Cresta, Randburg

The JQC stages auditions during January and July of each year. When auditions are open, interested members will have to fill in a voice assessment signup sheet, and from there undergo auditions before potential acceptance into the choir.

Successful applicants become a part of a fun community that regularly hosts social events, an annual choir camp and singing workshops.

Any questions about the audition process can be addressed to [email protected]. Former members who would like to return to the JQC can reach out to [email protected].
