The Stonewall Chorale

Based in New York City, the Stonewall Chorale is the nation's first LGBTQ+ chorus. The Chorale's mission is to amplify LGBTQIA+ voices through a dynamic and diverse choral repertoire, and unify the greater community through the transformative power of music. The Chorale originated in December 1977 as the Gotham Male Chorus, specializing in Gregorian chant and Renaissance music. In 1979, women joined the chorus for the first time, and the name was changed to the Stonewall Chorale. This year marks its 48th anniversary and the 22nd season of Cynthia Powell as its Artistic Director. The Chorale typically performs three concerts a year and makes appearances at special events throughout the tri-state area. The Chorale aspires to change the world, one concert at a time.
