The New York City Gay Men’s Chorus (NYCGMC) is thrilled to return to NYU Skirball for Beginnings – their first concert since December 2019!

The Chorus is overjoyed to once again take the stage and share music and dance with a live audience. Performing inspiring and uplifting music from Beyoncé, Tracy Chapman, Barry Manilow, Stephen Sondheim, Marc Anthony and more, the Chorus will celebrate its return and reflect upon the past two years through song, dance, community, and fun.

The show will feature a chorus of around 200 members (including 70 new members) and will be conducted by Artistic Director Jared Brayton Bollenbacher, accompanied by Aaron Dai, and performed by the New York City Gay Men’s Chorus. The show will also include dancing, acting, video, and amazing Drag performers, plus a special performance by TONEWALL, the super-charismatic queer a cappella group of the NYCGMC.

We can’t wait to celebrate the return of the New York City Gay Men’s Chorus!
