Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles

From Gospel, R&B, Motown, and Musical Theatre, GMCLA brings you the beat, the rhythm, heart and soul of some of the best music ever written. We’ve got the greatest hits from the icons like Stevie Wonder and the Temptations, to the musicals that really groove like Dreamgirls and The Wiz. Stunning gospel works will showcase the power GMCLA’s two hundred voices to make this a one-of-a-kind musical event. Plus, the incomparable Nicole Heaston joins us for "Summertime" from Porgy and Bess and more!

And The Beat Goes On

Saban Theatre

As the U.S. turns 250, we raise our voice for Independence and Pride with powerhouse songs that are both communal and personal. The Chorus will perform some of the most important and exciting music ever written -- from the iconic protest songs of Guthrie, and Dylan and Lennon, to the heart-stopping personal, and gay, anthems from La Cage aux Folles, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Rent, Wicked, and The Wizard of Oz. It’s a remarkable celebration of nation, community, and every individual seeking freedom.

Declarations Of Independence

The 2024 Gala evening begins with GMCLA’s performance of SOLID GOLD: Aretha, Dionne, & Whitney – a musical tribute to three indelible and influential voices. Immediately following the concert, gala guests will be treated to a lively reception, silent auction, and elegant dinner in the historic Pasadena Civic Auditorium’s ballroom. The gala dinner will feature special entertainment and GMCLA’s Voice Award presentations.
