"Ahead of their highly anticipated performance at this year's Dyke* Festival, we caught up with the formidable D-Dur Dykes*, the choir that's redefining what it means to sing with pride in Berlin! Renowned as Europe's largest FLINTA* choir, D-Dur Dykes* is not only filling venues but also dismantling stereotypes and belting out lesbian pop with unapologetic flair. Choral music is experiencing a renaissance in Berlin, with groups spanning from gospel to queer pop, catering to a multitude of identities and aesthetics."
"We quickly realized what a powerful opportunity this choir could be for the dyke* community to grow closer. Our aim is to make an impact on an individual level, offering a space for healing and thriving, while also driving politically relevant change through media attention. In what ways does the choir plan to continue its social impact initiatives in the future? We will be as loud as possible, singing our political beliefs into the world."
