Spending the holidays with you is like catching up with dear friends and family. On behalf of our entire organization, I want you to know that we are excited to see you again and look forward to building great memories together. After all, the Gay Men’s Chorus of South Florida (GMCSF) would not be here if it weren’t for you.

I must say that I am overwhelmed at the way you’ve sustained this chorus and enabled it to not only survive a global pandemic but emerge from it with strength. Your attendance at our concerts, your advertising, your donations, and your words of encouragement have kept us on the move and inspired. Just like any dear friend or family member, you were there for us when we needed you. On behalf of everyone…I thank you so very much.

Great things are happening for this chorus, and we all feel such a sense of excitement. I hope you do too. Together we are building a powerful force of music and humanity that is spreading hope further and further. In fact, we are reaching more than 20,000 people each season. We feel that everyone needs to see LGBTQ+ people as a vibrant community of individuals who are entitled to the same rights as others. Rights that are now under threat. We are not backing down. The Gay Men’s Chorus of South Florida is singing louder, getting stronger, and reaching further. We feel it is an honor to serve as the voice of the LGBTQ+ community.

Please continue to be a part of us. Buy tickets and bring friends. Donate to help us expand and do more. Volunteer and help reinforce our infrastructure. Buy an ad in the program book. You may even wish to audition and lend your voice to our efforts. However you may choose to become a part of this fabulous organization, I commit to you that as you stand behind us, we will continue doing our part. We will put in the many hours every week, hone our artistry, collaborate with the community, and increase our advocacy for LGBTQ+ individuals. Together, with you, we can build a better future for all people.

Get Involved!
