The Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles

Back in the summer of 1979, flyers were distributed throughout West Hollywood and Los Angeles publicizing the start of a gay men's chorus. Not knowing if anyone else would show up, 99 men gathered at Plummer Park Community Center. As a result, the Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles (GMCLA) was born! Since that date, the Chorus has traveled nationally and internationally, released 13 CDs, commissioned hundreds of new works and arrangements of choral music, helped perpetuate men's choral singing through the gay choral movement, and has even appeared in film and on television. GMCLA is proud of its first 25 years of service to the Los Angeles community and looks forward to many more.
