I am beyond thrilled to have been accepted as a member of the New York City Gay Men's Chorus for it's 2018/19 season. I have dedicated so many parts of my life to fighting for social justice and equal rights through song and music, and it felt appropriate to me to join this organization at this point in my life. We need to build bridges in our world now more than ever. I constantly tell my friends and loved ones (and my students!) that "Yes, we've come a long way- but there is still MORE WORK to do!" 

During our New Members Orientation I remember listening to one of the members who has been in the Chorus since the beginning- he was talking about all of the powerful things that the NYCGMC has done for the LGBTQ+ community and I was instantly moved to tears. I think this is a powerful and important organization and I sincerely hope that you consider donating. 

Welcome to the NYCGMC 2018 Membership Fundraising Drive!  The New York City Gay Men's Chorus is a world-class, world-renowned institution and a pioneering voice for the LGBTQ community.  Our mission--to build bridges through song--is carried out via our annual concert series, community outreach, and our commitment to diversity, inclusion, and equality.  As the Chorus begins its 40th season, we need your help to continue bringing the joy of our music and the passion of our community outreach to NYC and beyond!  

Our 2018/19 season is well underway with rehearsals for our beautiful holiday show, Comfort and Joy (December 14-16, 2018), and plans for Big Gay Sing XI: Bootylicious in March 2019.  We will cap off our season next June by commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising with a joint concert with Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles at Carnegie Hall, during World Pride 2019 in NYC. For more information about us, and to purchase tickets to our upcoming concert season, please visit www.nycgmc.org.  

As a non-profit organization, we rely on the generosity of friends like you.  Please help us keep our song alive!
