  • 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

    Deeply rooted in San Francisco’s gay community, the Golden Gate Men’s Chorus (GGMC) embraces both gay and gay-supportive men, reflecting the city's vibrant cultural tapestry. Our members represent diverse ethnic backgrounds—including African American, Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Latino, Vietnamese, and Western European—and span generations, from their 20s to their 70s.

    GGMC is committed to fostering an inclusive environment, welcoming individuals regardless of age, creed, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or any ability other than musicianship. Though primarily a men's vocal ensemble, we actively champion women's involvement in vital roles as house managers, vocal coaches, and concert producers, and who continue to contribute as volunteers and Board members.

    A Legacy of Harmony: 43 Years of Music

    Founded in 1982 by Dick Kramer—one of the pioneers of the American gay choral movement—the chorus began as the Dick Kramer Gay Men's Chorale. Inspired by the rich tradition of 19th-century European university men's choruses, Kramer envisioned a small but powerful vocal ensemble.

    Reorganized in 1988 as the Golden Gate Men’s Chorus, GGMC remains dedicated to delivering exceptional performances of men’s choral music, captivating audiences with artistry, passion, and a deep commitment to community.
