About The Portland Gay Men’s Chorus

The Portland Gay Men’s Chorus (PGMC), founded in 1980, was one of the first gay men’s choruses formed in the U.S. Starting with just 26 singers, PGMC quickly grew into a prominent institution within the LGBTQ community. Today, PGMC is a thriving arts organization of over 140 singers, performing in front of packed houses across the region. Their mission is to expand, redefine, and perfect the choral art through eclectic performances that honor and uplift the gay community and affirm the worth of all people.
