Sacramento Gay Men’s Chorus
MISSION:
Our mission is to foster pride and enhance lives, one song at a time.
HISTORY/INFORMATION:
The Sacramento Gay Men's Chorus was founded in 1984 as a singing group that aimed to foster a sense of community and provide support specifically for gay men in the Sacramento area. Over the years, through musical performance and outreach programs, the chorus has grown to become an integral part of the Sacramento music community, as well as a voice for the wide scope of LGBTQ+ folk in the greater Sacramento area. With that voice, SGMC has confronted intolerance and bigotry by providing a positive experience of the Queer Community. The Sacramento Gay Men's Chorus strives to create a fun environment for LGBTQ+ folk and allies who enjoy making music together. The chorus has grown to more than 80 members, made up of LGBTQ+ folks and is focused on both musical excellence and dynamic choralography. During the year, the chorus puts on several concerts, sings at numerous community events and benefits, and creates "pop-up" performances throughout the community.
