Each year the Chorus offers a subscription concert series of three programs, performed in the city's most prestigious venues including Jordan Hall, the Cutler Majestic Theatre, and Symphony Hall. The Chorus is heard live by more than 12,000 people each season and thousands more through recordings and television broadcasts.
Our History
Boston Gay Men's Chorus was founded in 1982.
The chorus has celebrated milestone birthdays every five years since it began. For our 35th Anniversary, we wanted to something besides our usual artistic celebrations during the concerts. We wanted to make a concerted effort to ensure that our history was well documented.
