Iowa’s premiere LGBTIQA+ Performance Group

About Iowa Pride Ensembles

Based in Des Moines, Iowa, the mission of Iowa Pride Ensembles is to promote artistic expression, education, community, and acceptance through performance.

We accept members of all playing abilities, though we do recommend some previous experience with instrumental music. Members and supporters of the LGBTQIA2+ community that are 18+ are all welcome to join any ensemble of IPE.
