CENTER CITY (WPVI) -- Philadelphia Voices of Pride has been entertaining audiences for two decades with an impressive song catalog and a notable list of venues where it has performed. The group has nearly 150 members representing the diversity and strength of the LGBTQ+ community.
Over 20 years the group has grown into one of the area's top choirs thanks to the leadership of artistic director Daniel Schwartz. The professional musician who is a member of Grammy-winning group The Crossing and the well-known sextet Variant 6, Daniel has found a passion directing the PVOP.
The group sings an array of music from pop hits to classical. They have performed at Citizens Bank Park, Carnegie Hall and the Kimmel Center. Each performance serves as a celebration for the group after months of rehearsals.
Each year they perform a Pride concert with the Philadelphia Orchestra at Marian Anderson Hall with other LGBTQ+ choirs. This year's performance is June 30, 2026.
The group represents the entire LGBTQ+ community along with allies. All are welcome but there is an audition process to join the group. This year's auditions will be in August.
