Twin Cities Gay Men’s Chorus (TCGMC) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) volunteer community chorus whose mission is Building Community Through Music. Since 1981, the Chorus has sought to provide its members with rewarding musical experiences and to promote social exchange. As an organization that celebrates diversity and uses music as a way to transform, educate, and heal, the Chorus works towards the elimination of homophobia and intolerance through community outreach.

Recently, a member of the Twin Cities Gay Men’s Chorus wrote, “As a community, the Chorus serves a supportive and stabilizing role for its members…I know several members who, facing depression and other challenges over the years, have said, ‘The Chorus has saved my life.’”

The goals of the Twin Cities Gay Men’s Chorus continue to be three-fold:
1) achieve a high level of musical integrity;
2) give voice and visibility to a cultural minority; and
3) confront homophobia and intolerance and effect positive social change.

Homophobia remains a pervasive problem in our society, despite the gains made in social acceptance and equal rights. Many LGBTQ+ people continue to experience discrimination in their personal and professional lives. Young LGBTQ+ people struggle with social and self-acceptance, while their family and friends also struggle to accept them.

TCGMC provides its members with rewarding musical performance experiences that celebrate diversity and use music as a way to transform, educate, and heal. The Chorus promotes social justice and the elimination of homophobia and intolerance through our regular season of performances and community outreach performances across Minnesota and the Upper Midwest. Our strategic vision is to be a dynamic choral leader, changing lives through the performance of significant music.
