About

On the back of June’s ‘powerful and disciplined’ performance These Precious Hours,
Canberra Qwire is inviting audiences to share in its end of year concert ‘Feels Like Home:
a musical celebration of place and community’ on Saturday 8 November 2025.

Canberra Qwire’s 150+ strong community of LGBTQIA+ people and allies rehearse
weekly to build a sense of belonging and welcome through song. This 70 minute
performance will explore the universal human desire to find, build and to be at, home.

Feels Like Home is grounded in the knowledge that First Nations peoples have been at
home on this continent for millennia. Canberra Qwire’s Musical Director Callum
Tolhurst-Close reflects ‘Home is built on many other parts of our humanity. Home can
be found through love and belonging; through comfort and desire; through heartache
and trial. At the same time, I acknowledge that there are those in our community and
society who are unable to feel home.’

Make yourself at home at Albert Hall at 3pm or 7pm on 8 November to experience
‘spine-tinglingly strong’ renditions of music made famous by The Jackson Five, Ben
Folds, The Golden Girls, Paul Simon, Christine Anu and Canberra’s own Dan Walker.
