Kids of Heart & Mind is a collaborative work presented by a team of cross-discipline professional artists from the 2SLGBTQ+ community. Weaving together story and song, the performance is an interactive exploration of identity and acceptance, developed for classrooms and communities to nurture understanding and inspire discussion and expression in support of how we feel inside. This is an interactive performance piece aimed at creating dialogue, art and understanding of 2SLGBTQ+ experience, and to inspire inclusivity, love and acceptance.

The Queer Songbook Youth Orchestra (QSYO) is a brand new Toronto based pop orchestra initiative for young musicians in the GTA who identify as 2SLGBTQ+ and their allies. Modelled after the Queer Songbook Orchestra (QSO) in concept and intent, the QSYO aims to provide an avenue for queer, trans, questioning and allied youth to further their musical training while actively engaging in 2SLGBTQ+ representation and community building.

**Please note - the QSYO will begin in a virtual capacity in the fall of 2021, with the hope of gathering in person as soon into the new year as is safe to do so.
