Welcome to Noland King's personal fundraising page for the New York City Gay Men's Chorus.
The New York City Gay Men’s Chorus is an internationally renowned performing arts institution in New York City and a pioneering voice for the LGBTQIA+ community. In addition to singing BEAUTIFULLY, we challenge people’s perceptions of the LGBTQIA+ community, combat fear and hatred, & encourage compassion & human connection.
We were founded in 1979. As of today we are comprised of 300+ singers of various ages & backgrounds and across the spectrum of gender identity and sexual orientation.
In addition to our mainstage shows, the NYCGMC annually presents over forty outreach activities across all five boroughs and beyond. Previous years’ outreach performances have included appearances at LGBTQIA+ teen homeless shelters, at SAGE (Services and Advocacy for older LGBTQ+ people.) Our school outreach program has served over 2,000 NYC public middle and high school students. In June 2022, we performed in the 75th Annual Tony Awards at Radio City Music Hall. In June 2023, we performed a concert exclusively for NYC middle and high school students at the Hostos Center for the Arts and Culture in the Bronx. Most recently (a few weeks ago) and perhaps most exciting for me personally, is being invited to perform on stage with 11 time Grammy winning artist, Brandi Carlile.
When I joined this chorus it was to get my voice in "fighting" shape, make friends, and create art with like-minded people. I couldn't have ever imagined it would be so incredibly fulfilling to sing alongside these incredible humans every week and also come by these rare opportunities. This journey has been one of the most extraordinary of my life.
Now for the ask...
