For 44 years, the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus has served as an international standard bearer for a powerful mix of musical excellence and mission-driven activism.

Founded in 1978, SFGMC was the first choral organization to courageously proclaim its orientation in its name and is credited with helping start the LGBT choral movement that now spans the entire globe, galvanizing and changing the course of LGBT history.

Despite their name, the chorus is not limited to only gay men. They are firmly committed to diversity, equity and inclusion and open their arms to any and all persons who can sing in tenor or bass range, irrespective of gender, gender identity, sexual orientation or race.

The chorus has 250 active singers at any given time, all of whom are volunteers that live across the Bay Area.

The chorus has performed with numerous celebrities including Kristin Chenoweth, Demi Lovato, Patti LuPone and many others.
