Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles | GMCLA.org

 

It's a Brand New Day!

One of the first openly-gay men to be elected to the Speaker's chair in any state Assembly was inaugurated on March 1st—and GMCLA was there!

By the end of this season, GMCLA will have performed for more than 5,000 high school students; created two, exciting, critically-acclaimed shows; begun work on three more concerts and commissioned dozens of new arrangements. All this in one of the most economically challenging years the country, and the Chorus, have faced in decades.

We do this for, and because of, you. Ticket sales contribute only 30% of our budget, so your gift will allow us to continue using music to bring joy, and to work towards the greatest gift of all—an end to homophobia.

Singing Out.

Los Angeles is tomorrow’s city today, a place where creativity is celebrated as much as celebrity, and where "coming out" happens in many different ways.

This year GMCLA comes out— by moving between different neighborhoods, challenging musical boundaries and launching our unique music education program in area high schools.

Reaching Out.

GMCLA's Alive Music Project —AMP— has already received rave reviews from teachers, students and researchers. GMCLA singing members visit area high schools and use new and traditional music to encourage discussion about being gay, and about how our quest for full equality challenges everyone to be different people.

So far GMCLA's AMP has reached more than 500 students. Now it’s time to launch the program county-wide.
