Austin Gay Men's Chorus

It's easy to tell by our name that we sing! And we have a reputation for doing it very well. However, we sing for a purpose. Singing is the vehicle-the instrument through which we strive to accomplish that purpose.

It might surprise you that in our history there have been men who have invited friends, and family members to our shows as their way of coming out. They have found the concert to be a safe place to start that very difficult conversation about identity.

When that family member realized that their son, or brother, or close friend was gay, they had to think. Sometimes that happened when they got the invitation. Sometimes it happened after they arrived and realized where they were. But when they witnessed the guys all dressed up in their tuxes, and making beautiful music, they could not help but to be changed! We raise our voices in song to change minds.
