ABOUT US
The Golden Gate Men's Chorus is committed to excellence and joyous music-making; providing a supportive and nurturing atmosphere for our members' artistic and social self-expression; and sharing and expanding the rich and continuing tradition of male choral music.
Drawing Strength From Diversity
Rooted in the gay community, GGMC welcomes both gay and gay-supportive men into its membership. The chorus reflects the rich ethnic and social diversity of San Francisco, with members of African American, Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Latino, Vietnamese, and Western European backgrounds, ranging in age from their 20s to their 70s.
GGMC is committed to inclusivity and does not discriminate based on age, creed, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or any ability other than musicianship. While the GGMC is primarily a men's vocal group, it actively promotes women's involvement. Women have served as paid consultants in roles such as house managers, vocal coaches, and concert producers. Additionally, women have volunteered with the group and are encouraged to seek election to the Board.
Entertaining San Francisco for 42 Years
The Golden Gate Men's Chorus was formed by Dick Kramer in 1982 as the Dick Kramer Gay Men's Chorale. Mr. Kramer, one of the founding fathers of the American gay choral movement, envisioned a small men's ensemble reminiscent of university men's choruses of 19th-century Europe.
Reorganized as the Golden Gate Men's Chorus in 1988, the GGMC continues to present high-quality performances of men's choral music.
