Get Involved
Whether you want to sing, support, or connect, there’s a place for YOU at Our Voice Milwaukee!
As a community chorus, everything we do is powered by people who show up with their time, talent and passion. From the stage to behind the scenes, every role helps bring our mission to life: using music to uplift LGBTQIA+ voices and build connection across our community.
​
There are numerous ways to get involved with the chorus, and we have opportunities for both singing and non-singing members. Whatever your interest, we can find ways for you to be an active part of our community.

Become a Singer
Sing With Us
We welcome all singers who can sing in the TTBB (tenor, baritone, and bass) vocal range.
​​
We rehearse on Tuesday evenings from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. near downtown Milwaukee.
​
We have several singing cycles/seasons each year. Typically a Fall cycle running from September through December and a Spring cycle from January through June.
Joining
We do not do formal auditions for the chorus. Our artistic director will meet with each prospective new member to listen to their voice and determine range and appropriate section.
The chorus is a space for all to be welcome. You do not need to be an expert at reading music to be part of the chorus. We support members in understanding the music, regardless of music ability. We also provide learning audio tracks.​​​

Non-Singing Members
Anyone can support the mission of the chorus as a non-singing member. Those who contribute their time and talents behind the scenes play an essential role in bringing performances to life and sustaining Our Voice Milwaukee as a true community chorus.
​
From assisting with concerts and events to supporting marketing, outreach and operations, there are many ways to get involved based on your interests and availability. Whether you’re helping create a welcoming audience experience, capturing moments through photography, or lending professional skills to strengthen the organization, your contributions make an immediate and meaningful impact.
Volunteering
We are always looking for people to help the chorus in general volunteer roles from ushering at concerts to helping with ticket sales.
Chorus Leadership
Non-singing members are welcome to get involved with the chorus leadership and serve on committees and also run for board positions.
Event Support
Concerts, fundraisers, and other events require non-singing members to help organize, serve in backstage roles, and support the chorus in a number of ways.
Skills and Talents
Do you have a skill or talent that isn't singing? We would love to have your skills support the chorus. From photography to audio recording and more, your skills can be a valuable asset.
Administrative Roles
Our chorus features a working board and a team of volunteers. We are always in need of people to help organize, make copies, and do other administrative tasks.
Connections
Are you someone who just knows many people and has connections? We can always benefit from those relationships. Help with publicity, solicit funds, and more!
