Unifying our community through the power of song.
Harmony Diversity Choir is an inclusive choir program that utilizes song to share a message of inclusion and advocacy for the LGBTQ+ community in the Great Lakes Bay Region and beyond.
Harmony Diversity Choir is a program of Great Lakes Bay Pride, the parent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide inclusive sexual orientation and gender identity/expression (SOGIE) education, advocacy, networking, and resources to individuals and organizations in the Great Lakes Bay Region.
