Supporting GLBT choruses as we change our world through song.

GALA Choruses is the leading association committed to serving the GLBT choral movement in the US and abroad. Our 120-plus member choruses and 7,500 singers look to us repeatedly for support and leadership. We are dedicated to providing organizational support and helping our choruses to be strong both artistically and professionally.

GALA Choruses fosters the artistic and organizational development of member choruses through a wide variety of programs and services. We produce publications, educational conferences, and choral festivals. We provide grants for the commissioning of new choral works, facilitate networking among our members, and serve as a resource repository for choruses and individual members.

GALA Choruses serves choruses that range in size from five to over 250 singers. Member choruses are located throughout North America, Europe and Australia. GALA Choruses was formed in 1982 by a few visionary leaders among GLBT choruses.

Based in Pittsburgh, PA, GALA Choruses is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation with tax-exempt status in the United States.
