Gay Mens Chorus of Washington

The Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington (GMCW) has been performing for 35 years now, mixing music with advocacy for gay rights and equality. If you’re in D.C. and want to catch a show that’s both entertaining and meaningful, this is it.

In the nation’s capital, the chorus is a cultural institution. It’s the kind of group that’s been part of Pride events and community gatherings for decades.

Expect shows that blend entertainment with real advocacy, all while showing off the talent of D.C.’s gay community. Thea Kano directs the organization, which believes music and performance can both bring joy and drive social change.
