Gay choir Les Genevoix rehearses in Geneva to foster community

Alessandro Capozzi and approximately 50 men gather at Collège Voltaire in Geneva, Switzerland, to practice with the gay choir Les Genevoix.

The group meets in the basement of the historic school to sing and build a community for men who advocate for the right to difference. Under the direction of pianist Empi, the singers organize themselves into sections including tenors 1, tenors 2, baritones, and basses.

The rehearsals begin with physical warmups to prepare their vocal cords before they practice contemporary pieces. The choir performs songs such as Life on Mars by David Bowie and Dracula by Tame Impala. These sessions allow the members to harmonize their voices and share a space dedicated to the love of singing.
