Female LGBT Chorus

Based in St. Louis, MO

Founded by Jane Clark, Juliet Jackson and Cindy Sohn in 1993 to be a chorus with a message, CHARIS - The St. Louis Women's Chorus is a lesbian chorus, open to all women. Our members differ in age, size, ethnic background, and abilities, but share a goal to seek musical excellence, voice messages of social justice, and create a fun and supportive place for all women.

CHARIS prides itself on the diversity of its membership, program and audience. CHARIS comprises 40 to 60 women varying in age from 16 to 70. We represent a variety of ethnicities, sexual orientations, economic situations, and abilities and disabilities. Our programs have included a wide repertoire including pop, classical, spirituals, and world music. We have collaborated with other choruses, individual guest artists, and with other community arts and social services organizations. We market ourselves to the entire St. Louis metropolitan community and choose venues that are accessible and easy to reach by public transportation.
