Three steps to sign up!

  1. Indicate your interest with this short GALA survey.  This is the best way for us to be in contact with all singers who are considering attending.
  2. When you are ready, register on the Out & Loud & Proud website. Enter your chorus name as “GALA Choruses”.
  3. Email GALA Choruses to let us know you have registered for the Festival! 

The GALA North American chorus is conducted by GALA’s artistic director, Jane Ramseyer Miller.  Singers will learn the music for our set on your own and arrive a day early to rehearse together. We will perform a concert in downtown Sydney, a set for the Out & Loud & Proud Festival, and as part of a mass choir at the opening of Sydney World Pride.
