Homophonic!
Championing LGBTIQ+ composers, and bringing the disco ball to the concert hall, Homophonic! is led by Artistic Director Miranda Hill, a leading voice in queer classical music since 2011.
Through performance, regional touring, commissioning, the Homophonic! Pride Prize Composition Competition and the RESPECT project telling the stories of LGBTIQA+ elders in music.
