Columbus Gay Men's Chorus

The vision statement of the Columbus Gay Men’s Chorus can be expressed in four words: “Voices Raised, Lives Changed.” As a performing arts group, we strive to enrich, empower, and entertain our audiences and members through varied concerts and other performances comprising a range of vocal, musical, theatrical, and dance presentations.

Our mission as an organization is to foster increased recognition, understanding, and acceptance of individuals in the LGBTQIA+ community. We dedicate ourselves to perform vocal music at the highest possible standard of quality, and to maintain an atmosphere of camaraderie, support, and respect for our diverse members and audiences. We create and perform innovative, provocative, and entertaining programs that enhance the arts in Central Ohio, and that honor, preserve, and expand the legacy and artistry of the TTBB choral sound and tradition. We perform in accessible venues and provide ASL interpretation for our concert season.

Ensembles

Main Chorus. In its 34th season, the main chorus is the largest TTBB chorus in Ohio, and one of the largest LGBT+ choruses in the country, with well over 100 singing members, performing 3 main concerts and a host of other engagements throughout each year.

Illuminati, CGMC's sacred ensemble, bridges the gap between the LGBT and religious communities. Learn more: http://www.cgmc.com/illuminati 

Vox, CGMC’s auditioned ensemble, is a key part of our mission, outreach, and our overall organization. Learn more: http://www.cgmc.com/vox

In the coming months, CGMC will launch a groundbreaking Youth Chorus ensemble for teenagers to have a welcoming, inclusive space to build community and make music.

Funds raised will help support:

• Our four ensembles, including the Main Chorus, Illuminati, Vox, and the development of our upcoming fourth ensemble, a Youth Chorus.
• Music, programming and venue costs to provide a rich entertainment experience for greater Columbus and beyond.
